The Federal Republic of Lion225 is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 513 million Lion225ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.8%.

The all-consuming Lion225ian economy, worth 39.3 trillion catnips a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,530 catnips, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, and years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lion225's national animal is the Meowing Cats, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lion225 is ranked 294,725^th in the world and 120^th in Imperatus for Most Cultured, scoring 51 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
