The Watchfires of LR-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 17.83 billion LR-1ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient LR-1ian economy, worth 581 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,586 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, Leader sports gold-plated grillz to promote the government's hard money policy, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LR-1's national animal is the laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

LR-1 is ranked 93,254^th in the world and 1^st in Lebanese Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
