The Equatorial Bulge of Lislandia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Alexa Downeaster with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.476 billion Lislandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hiwahiwa. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Lislandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,177 trillion lisles 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 256,869 lisles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, "Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, money grows on trees, and sales of trenchcoats are on the rise. Crime is totally unknown. Lislandia's national animal is the harloquin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Baba Yetu.

Lislandia is ranked 1,842^nd in the world and 2^nd in Conch Kingdom for Healthiest Citizens, with 28.53 bananas ingested per day.
