The Corporate Wasteland of Lyrenna is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 6.605 billion Lyrennans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The minute, corrupt, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Administration also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Lyrennan economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion dogecoins 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 233,616 dogecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and 'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lyrenna's national animal is the doge, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Lyrenna is ranked 50,248th in the world and 29th in SAFT Puppets for Most Stationary, with 900.68204161868 days.
