The Jolly Roger of Laver Island is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hælga Jakobsdottír with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.198 billion Laverians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulkanerborg. The average income tax rate is 45.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laverian economy, worth a remarkable 3,056 trillion Vixes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 151,302 Vixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Laverian Falcon has a hungry look, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Hælga Jakobsdottír is a silly poophead, parties on cruise ships go off with a real bang, and pizzerias often get delivery orders for Saturn and alien first-born are considered a delicacy (Laver Island has found 1 easter egg). Crime is totally unknown. Laver Island's national animal is the Laverian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Laver Island is ranked 242,725^th in the world and 933^rd in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.35 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
