The Holy Pink Bountiful Lands of L V M H is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Mike Mattinson with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 4.923 billion LVMHers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petroskoi. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient LVMHer economy, worth 782 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 159,012 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Petroskoi Film Festival recently voted 'LVMHer Getting Hit By Football' as best film, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, and atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. L V M H's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

L V M H is ranked 22,059th in the world and 781st in Balder for Highest Average Incomes, with 159,012.44 Standard Monetary Units.
