The Federal Socialist State of Lisaryia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by General Secretary Sakyn with an iron fist, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.8 billion Lisaryians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuroska. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Lisaryian economy, worth 16.9 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 9,378 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, and when conspiracy theorists talk about "government moles" they're referring to mysteriously mobile skin lesions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lisaryia's national animal is the Lisaryian Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lisaryia is ranked 55,792^nd in the world and 4^th in Estellia for Nicest Citizens, with 17.01 average smiles per day.
