The Federal Republic of Listavia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.34 billion Listavians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erin Lomen. The average income tax rate is 45.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Listavian economy, worth 149 trillion Lists a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,469 Lists, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Listavia's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Listavia is ranked 105,669^th in the world and 236^th in Starlight for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 45.31 Effective Tax Rate.
