The Rogue Nation of LV-Cygnus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Blitzwing with an even hand, and renowned for its feral children, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.157 billion LV-Cygnusians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casino Gigalopolis. The average income tax rate is 91.5%.
The frighteningly efficient LV-Cygnusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,094 trillion 8balls a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 212,233 8balls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Uranium Mining facilities are being turned into Jade-billed Woodpecker habitats, the government is dead set on letting people rest in peace, couples wishing to marry spend months at the circus trying to learn acrobatics, and one can wake up in LV-Cygnus and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LV-Cygnus's national animal is the Jade-billed Woodpecker, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Chaoticism.
LV-Cygnus is ranked 17,444th in the world and 6th in Commonwealth of Idiots for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
