The Federal Republic of Lion803 is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and enslaved workforce. The cynical population of 398 million Lion803ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.2%.

The strong Lion803ian economy, worth 24.9 trillion catnips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 62,574 catnips, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 204,537 per year while the poor average 14,389, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Discarded pennies litter the streets, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, and children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lion803's national animal is the Meowing Cats, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lion803 is ranked 271,959^th in the world and 1,088^th in Concord for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -7.87 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
