Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Protectorate of Lyras is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Warmarshal Natasha Krell with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 39.848 billion Lyrans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Environment and Social Policy not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bredubar. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lyran economy, worth an astonishing 19,984 trillion Varessan crowns a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 501,526 Varessan crowns, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Lyras's national animal is the Lyran Drop Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lyras is ranked 18,805^th in the world and 14^th in Greater Dienstad for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,374.59 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
