The Demonic Overlords of Lavender is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Eris with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.294 billion Lavenderians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pittsburg. The average income tax rate is 28.5%.

The all-consuming Lavenderian economy, worth 776 trillion post-they a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 63,191 post-they, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Computers are widely considered to be the "devil magic of heathens", failing businesses often become the sites of unsolved murders, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Lavender's national animal is the skittish ferret, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lavender is ranked 70,316^th in the world and 1,113^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,701.44 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
