The Sloth of Empire of new Lemon is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Barry Williams II with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.253 billion barryists are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barry Town. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Empire of new Lemonian economy, worth 454 trillion Lemons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 139,732 Lemons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing numbers of children in Empire of new Lemon have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and the recycled air in planes is nauseating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of new Lemon's national animal is the lemon sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is barryism.
