The Dominion of St Lyaos is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Leviathan Jemíí with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.501 billion Lyaosians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tó Shinaaím. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lyaosian economy, worth 390 trillion bells 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 mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Cheese Exports. Average income is 71,044 bells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime is totally unknown. St Lyaos's national animal is the bleeding-heart bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

St Lyaos is ranked 262,550^th in the world and 1,004^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.72 kickbacks per hour.
