- "I was thinking of staying out in the Lake Country. There's some places out there that are very isolated."
- ―Padmé Amidala[4]
TheLake Country was the most isolated area of theplanetNaboo. Its population consisted offarmers,shaak herders, and glass craftworkers. A popular vacation spot, visitors traveled to see its waterfalls and open grasslands filled with wildflowers.[1]
Description[]
A remote retreat made up of a sparse, mainlyfarmer- andhermit-craftworker–dominated population, the Lake Country'swatermeadows were populated by flocks of grazingshaak, and rivers that provided the fertile land's waterfalls regularly flooded the area, though it was left dry insummer.[5]
The region, known for its great natural beauty, was located in a valley dotted with numerous lakes and surrounded bymountains. Its lakes were sealed off from Naboo's underground waterways and caverns and thus were safe from large aquatic creatures.[1] The natural heritage of the Lake Country was protected by theNaboo. After theInvasion of Naboo, new treaties with theGungans were signed that reinforced the isolation of the lakes in the region.[2]
In springtime, thefestival of Glad Arrival transformed the communally-owned,Pastoral Collective-maintained meadows into a setting for colorful pageants and musical performances for severaldays.[5]
The private retreat of theNaberrie family,Varykino, was situated on the small island of the same name in the Lake Country.[1]
