The Republic of Lily Vocaloid is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, soft-spoken computers, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed population of 9.355 billion Lily Vocaloidians 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 Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Lily Vocaloidian economy, worth 177 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 18,970 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lily Vocaloid's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Lily Vocaloid is ranked 280,039th in the world and 4,746th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -9.54 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
