The Persona of Lavenza is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.8 billion Phantom Thieves 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 32.3%.

The distorted economy, worth 610 trillion yen a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 44,219 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Corrupt Party bureaucrats are being voted out of office in overwhelming numbers, planespotters are emigrating in droves, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lavenza's national animal is the shadow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lavenza is ranked 233,194^th in the world and 9,119^th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 11.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
