The People's Republic of Lantavia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.085 billion Lantavians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The strong Lantavian economy, worth 449 trillion scudoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 55,612 scudoes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 358,424 per year while the poor average 3,486, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lantavia's national animal is the snail, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lantavia is ranked 57,401^st in the world and 8^th in Dispatchia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 52,108.5 Standard Monetary Units.
