The Empire of Latvia LV is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 305 million Latvians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rīga. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Latvian economy, worth 23.6 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,299 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, the government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Latvia LV's national animal is the Potato cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Latvia LV is ranked 43,787^th in the world and 60^th in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 694.09 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
