The Theocracy of Louvanium is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8 million Louvaniumians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Louvaniumian economy, worth 88.6 billion Technocredits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 11,081 Technocredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Louvanium's national animal is the kiwi.

Louvanium is ranked 327,689^th in the world and 569^th in Aeternum for Highest Average Incomes, with 11,081.16 Standard Monetary Units.
