The Spooky Commune State of Liossalde is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Holy Popesecretary Pius XXXVIII with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 29.015 billion Liossaldians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

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 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Liossaldian economy, worth a remarkable 4,498 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 Tourism, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 155,043 Liossaldian Soliduses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, an opal a day keeps the negative thoughts at bay, Liossalde is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. 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 11,388^th in the world and 34^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
