The Empire of Larvastan is a mid-sized, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 50 million Larvastanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong Larvastanian economy, worth 3.22 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 64,315 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 315,711 per year while the poor average 7,496, a ratio of 42.1 to 1.

Achieving blood purity involves a surprising amount of bloodshed, matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, ghost regiments exist only on paper, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime is a problem. Larvastan's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Larvastan is ranked 44,938^th in the world and 77^th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,935.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
