The Free Palestine of Lilli Lands is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lilli Ka'aihue with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, devout population of 2.753 billion Lillis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
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 'Aina o nā Honu. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Lilli economy, worth 188 trillion kālās 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. Average income is 68,513 kālās, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, petitioners are increasingly resorting to climbing through Lilli Ka'aihue's window to draw attention to their issues, and most ambassadors from Lilli Lands retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lilli Lands's national animal is the honu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ka Honu Akua.
Lilli Lands is ranked 203,495th in the world and 3,147th in the South Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 45.75 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
