The Federal Republic of Hex Lisonevio is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 356 million Lisonevians 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onthous. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Lisonevionic economy, worth 9.26 trillion pills a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,017 pills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, government policies change at the drop of a rabbit, foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take, and citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em". Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hex Lisonevio's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hex Lisonevio is ranked 174,749^th in the world and 7^th in Hextravaganza for Smartest Citizens, with 26.72 quips per hour.
