The Eternal Empire of Lygonia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Jamias V with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 25.723 billion Lygonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Löwenstadt. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Lygonian economy, worth a remarkable 8,170 trillion Lygmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 317,622 Lygmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
The atmosphere in Lygonian boardrooms is turning more gay, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", and people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lygonia's national animal is the Golden Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.
Lygonia is ranked 291,586th in the world and 28th in Modorra for Lowest Crime Rates, with 17.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
