The Borderlands of Loverezy is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 111 million Loverezyians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 9.3%.

The strong Loverezyian economy, worth 5.93 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,442 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Shirts-versus-skins games are now skins-versus-skins games, the Loverezy Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, cigarettes are dead-cheap, and foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border. Crime is relatively low. Loverezy's national animal is the Whale Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Loverezy is ranked 65,968^th in the world and 2^nd in Bonk for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,667.52 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
