The Kingdom of Lydaria is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 951 million Lydarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adyl. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Lydarian economy, worth 36.8 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,711 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Underground copulation clubs have sprung up in major cities, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lydaria's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lydaria is ranked 75,097^th in the world and 1^st in Middle Atlantic for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,838.67 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
