The Republic of Lavandula is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.975 billion Lavandulans 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Welfare, Public Transport, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Industry are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Battersea. The average income tax rate is 13.0%.

The large but inefficient Lavandulan economy, worth 486 trillion Shillings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,783 Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Classes at Battersea University get canceled on Brancaland's Independence Day, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, and the nation's war memorials are being torn down and replaced with peace gardens. Crime is well under control. Lavandula's national animal is the Dog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lavandula is ranked 172,528^th in the world and 3^rd in The Christmas Season for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
