The United States of Lioda is a tiny, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 12 million Liodans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.1%.

The strong Liodan economy, worth 749 billion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 62,421 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, artists are pillars of society, and the police force is on a recruitment drive. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lioda's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lioda is ranked 34,829^th in the world and 3^rd in The Kaiserreich for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,381.23 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
