The Empire of Lavanta is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Jeffrey Philippe with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.204 billion Lavantans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lavanta City. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lavantan economy, worth a remarkable 1,178 trillion Lavantan Karas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,542 Lavantan Karas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, Jeffrey Philippe has awarded Jeffrey Philippe many medals in appreciation for Jeffrey Philippe's awesomeness, and Max Barry is this year's Miss Lavanta. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lavanta's national animal is the Lavantan Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lavanta is ranked 28,924^th in the world and 1,281^st in Lazarus for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,096.04 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
