The Community of Lavta is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, democratic population of 276 million Lavtans 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 prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 24.2%.

The strong Lavtan economy, worth 17.0 trillion Doshes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 61,755 Doshes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lavta's national animal is the Okapi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lavta is ranked 142,337^th in the world and 102^nd in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 577.18 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
