The Kingdom of Latverania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Balazs Richard with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.717 billion Latveranians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Szeged. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Latveranian economy, worth a remarkable 2,548 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 185,824 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, Balazs Richard's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and loudmouthed journalists are given the chop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Latverania's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Latverania is ranked 117,459^th in the world and 788^th in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 134.04 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
