The Republic of Lovlan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by James Monarch with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.517 billion Lovlans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wington. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lovlanian economy, worth 105 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,614 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The countryside is shrouded by wind farms, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime is totally unknown. Lovlan's national animal is the Monarch Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lovlan is ranked 11,718^th in the world and 42^nd in Concord for Nicest Citizens, with 28.74 average smiles per day.
