The Republic of Latvia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.248 billion Latvians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Latvian economy, worth a remarkable 4,496 trillion Golds a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 159,186 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

On graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, policies are debated via video essays and tier lists, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, and the most sacred right is the right to ignore the rights of slaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Latvia's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Latvia is ranked 63,155^th in the world and 25^th in Kantrias for Most Developed, scoring 73.4 on the Human Development Index.
