The Queendom of Lydia X is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.964 billion Lydia Xians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The strong Lydia Xian economy, worth 554 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 50,563 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 325,884 per year while the poor average 3,169, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lydia X's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lydia X is ranked 25,850^th in the world and 1^st in Far Away for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,908.79 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
