The Sovereign Multistate of Lugarvatn is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Mia I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.36 billion Lugarvats hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of West Kaoski. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lugarvat economy, worth 186 trillion Lugarvat Rubies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 137,394 Lugarvat Rubies, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Destitute AIs lurk around online bulletin boards begging for spare Lugarvat Rubies, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, Lugarvatn recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, and teenagers haven't been seen outdoors since the nation reconnected to the Internet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lugarvatn's national animal is the Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Lugarvatn is ranked 44,363^rd in the world and 1,398^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,806.36 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
