The Republic of Logovets is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Didzis the depressed with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.093 billion Logovetsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carvilo. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Logovetsian economy, worth 276 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 132,274 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, historic buildings are being demolished to allow for road-widening in the city centre, halberds are common 18th birthday presents, and urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Logovets's national animal is the Snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Please don't be religious.

Logovets is ranked 205,025^th in the world and 9,219^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -100.15 on the Hayek Index.
