The Equatorial Bulge of Lislandia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexa Downeaster with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, lack of airports, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 12.542 billion Lislandians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hiwahiwa. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Lislandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,744 trillion lisles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 298,556 lisles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A passport is literally priceless, the government's economic policy can be summed up as "Abort, Retry, Fail?", cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime is totally unknown. Lislandia's national animal is the harloquin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Baba Yetu.

Lislandia is ranked 3,770^th in the world and 16^th in Conch Kingdom for Safest, scoring 135.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
