The Community of Lyston is a huge, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 693 million Lystonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lystonian economy, worth 38.0 trillion Pengers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 54,776 Pengers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, claims of genocide have been levied against the nation by international observers, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyston's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Lyston is ranked 82,590^th in the world and 9^th in Torkeland card farm for Safest, scoring 90.95 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
