The Free Land of Latvia and Saaremaa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Juris Jančevskis with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.96 billion Latvians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Riga. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Latvia and Saaremaan economy, worth a remarkable 1,424 trillion Lats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 204,734 Lats, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Latvians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, and regional governors use national law books as toilet paper. Crime is totally unknown. Latvia and Saaremaa's national animal is the pike fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Latvian Lutheran Christianity.

Latvia and Saaremaa is ranked 11,256th in the world and 14th in Anteria for Most Cultured, scoring 113 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
