The Holy Commune State of Liossalde is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Holy Popesecretary Pius XXXVIII with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 28.855 billion Liossaldians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Whitby. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Liossaldian economy, worth a remarkable 4,345 trillion Liossaldian Soliduses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 150,604 Liossaldian Soliduses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Automotive regulators are throwing in the towel, scientists take credit every time it rains in Democratic Socialist Assembly, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and smart fridges sing the praises of Ecumenical Liossaldianism for fear of being iced. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liossalde's national animal is the golden dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ecumenical Liossaldianism.

Liossalde is ranked 126,479^th in the world and 28^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,618.28 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
