The Republic of Labavaria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Librick Sarlakov with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.219 billion Labavarians 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 Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drinitia. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Labavarian economy, worth 176 trillion Markoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 144,771 Markoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Clerics remind orphans of their parents' wickedness, "Librick Sarlakov got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, and the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Labavaria's national animal is the Samandrina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sarlakovism.

Labavaria is ranked 58,673^rd in the world and 2,795^th in Balder for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 17,910.57 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
