The Queendom of Lily valley is a massive, safe nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 4.144 billion Zoulans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xaniya. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Zoulani economy, worth 570 trillion Bartazzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,774 Bartazzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and where there's a will there is usually a password manager. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lily valley's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lily valley is ranked 3,044^th in the world and 73^rd in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 65.46 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
