“They're Palatschinken, not Pfannkuchen.”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Laamiva is a massive, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.764 billion Laamivans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuressaare. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Laamivan economy, worth 157 trillion rubiins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,254 rubiins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laamiva's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. 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 16,675^th in the world and 509^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,507.74 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
