The Confederacy of Lost Warva is a tiny, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 18 million Lost Warvans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.6%.

The Lost Warvan economy, worth 801 billion dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,507 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lost Warva's national animal is the porpoise.

Lost Warva is ranked 43,347^th in the world and 209^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,248.36 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
