The United Socialist States of Loviania is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 497 million Lovianians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Comradopolis. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lovianian economy, worth 33.0 trillion Anarchoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 66,474 Anarchoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", the government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions, and the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Loviania's national animal is the Schizophyllum commune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Loviania is ranked 35,280^th in the world and 485^th in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 783.57 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
