The Rogue Nation of Lahvatra is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Cain Mikotono with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.505 billion Lahvatrans 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zionia. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lahvatran economy, worth 111 trillion Lahvatra Septims a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,166 Lahvatra Septims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, pet rocks are sold by the pound, and the nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lahvatra's national animal is the Manticore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shintō.
