The Kingdom of Lycadia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by High King Lycan with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 8.356 billion Lycadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tamaska. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lycadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,456 trillion Gias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 174,273 Gias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Lycadia's border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lycadia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Akavir.

Lycadia is ranked 273,730^th in the world and 163^rd in Africa for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.69 kickbacks per hour.
