The Holy Empire of Medium Lavoss is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, prohibition of alcohol, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 306 million Holy Lavossians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Spirituality, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lav-Aviv. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Medium Lavossian economy, worth 32.6 trillion Lavs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 106,493 Lavs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 748,360 per year while the poor average 5,156, a ratio of 145 to 1.

Police are saying "bye book" to "by the book", politicians are often seen drinking soft drinks at the end of every public address, denied drugs and entertainment the nation's youth are taking to petty crime to alleviate their boredom, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Medium Lavoss's national animal is the Barn owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Medium Lavoss is ranked 120,717^th in the world and 5^th in Polar South for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,746.51 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
