“They're Palatschinken, not Pfannkuchen.”

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

The Republic of Laamiva is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 827 million 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 large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuressaare. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Laamivan economy, worth 77.0 trillion rubiins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,120 rubiins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Leader's wardrobe, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, and Laamiva's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives. Crime is totally unknown. Laamiva's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Laamiva is ranked 92,052^nd in the world and 3,358^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,248.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
