The Free Land of Latvia and Saaremaa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Juris Jančevskis with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 7.158 billion Latvians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Riga. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Latvia and Saaremaan economy, worth a remarkable 1,473 trillion Lats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 205,795 Lats, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime is totally unknown. Latvia and Saaremaa's national animal is the pike fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Latvian Lutheran Christianity.

Latvia and Saaremaa is ranked 241,276th in the world and 123rd in Anteria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
