The Republic of Linaviar is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Desmond Geriad with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.816 billion Úlinaviarni 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesquv. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Linaviarni economy, worth a remarkable 1,064 trillion Ķiovas a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,412 Ķiovas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime is totally unknown. Linaviar's national animal is the PLACEHOLDER, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is PLACEHOLDER.

Linaviar is ranked 2,711^th in the world and 13^th in The Western Isles for Most Developed, scoring 95.64 on the Human Development Index.
