The Principality of Lavausc is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Vagatov with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.306 billion Lavauscians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drifting. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Lavauscian economy, worth 157 trillion radulas 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 12,795 radulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lavausc's national animal is the cecaelian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lavausc is ranked 77,339th in the world and 32nd in The World Rearranged for Most Stationary, with 625.3064400814 days.
