The Jolly Roger of Laver Island is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Hælga Jakobsdottír with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 20.124 billion Laverians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulkanerborg. The average income tax rate is 40.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laverian economy, worth a remarkable 3,012 trillion Vixes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 149,706 Vixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Laverian Falcon has a hungry look, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Hælga Jakobsdottír is a silly poophead, parties on cruise ships go off with a real bang, and pizzerias often get delivery orders for Saturn and alien first-born are considered a delicacy (Laver Island has found 1 easter egg). Crime is totally unknown. Laver Island's national animal is the Laverian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Laver Island is ranked 16,975^th in the world and 309^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 87.68 on the Human Development Index.
