The Republic of Laamiva is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.521 billion Laamivans 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 enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuressaare. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laamivan economy, worth 775 trillion rubiins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,959 rubiins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, and disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire. Crime is totally unknown. Laamiva's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Laamiva is ranked 37,098th in the world and 2,002nd in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,936.75 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
