The Republic of A lice z is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.462 billion lice zians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.3%.

The lice zian economy, worth 72.0 trillion headpats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,262 headpats, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A lice z's national animal is the catgirl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

A lice z is ranked 42,035^th in the world and 151^st in Concord for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 49.24 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
