The Queendom of -Lisbeth- is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 10 million -Lisbeth-ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak -Lisbeth-ian economy, worth 255 billion Animal Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 25,574 Animal Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Lisbeth-'s national animal is the caracal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Lisbeth- is ranked 292,418^th in the world and 87^th in Land of the free for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.7 kickbacks per hour.
