The Kingdom of Latverania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Balazs Richard with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.288 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 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Latveranian economy, worth a remarkable 2,865 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 187,408 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs. 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 343,368th in the world and 1,519th in Europe for Nicest Citizens, with 0.17 average smiles per day.
