The Sovereign Multistate of Lugarvatn is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Mia I with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.366 billion Lugarvats hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of West Kaoski. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lugarvat economy, worth 188 trillion Lugarvat Rubies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 137,774 Lugarvat Rubies, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers haven't been seen outdoors since the nation reconnected to the Internet, ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen, movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens, and a flying elephant and Emperor Mia I share the same nickname. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lugarvatn's national animal is the Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Lugarvatn is ranked 8,111^th in the world and 148^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 9,334.66 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
