The Democratic Republic of Lisko is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Barbara Jankiewicz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.194 billion Liskoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lesko. The average income tax rate is 18.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Liskoan economy, worth 229 trillion hryvnias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,798 hryvnias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments, dolphins with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, 9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer, and religious officials are furious after discovering that things made of stone do not burn well at the stake. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Lisko's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Eastern-Rite Catholicism.

Lisko is ranked 222,852^nd in the world and 7^th in Stepford County for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
