The Battle Maid of Labiata is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.084 billion Labiatans 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Labiatan economy, worth a remarkable 1,156 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 163,194 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 603,188 per year while the poor average 31,123, a ratio of 19.4 to 1.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, schoolchildren seeking entertainment have been told to go fish, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, and binoculars sales are at an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Labiata's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Labiata is ranked 284,561^st in the world and 656^th in Aetherius for Nudest, with 34.75 cheeks per square mile.
