The Empire of Latvia LV is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 266 million Latvians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rīga. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Latvian economy, worth 19.4 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,117 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, and military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Latvia LV's national animal is the Potato cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Latvia LV is ranked 35,323^rd in the world and 79^th in Karma for Most Beautiful Environments, with 783.09 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
