The Golden General of The Lionsmith is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.196 billion Lionsmithians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shadowless Empire Capital. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Lionsmithian economy, worth 457 trillion Spintrias 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 55,861 Spintrias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. 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. The Lionsmith's national animal is the Skaptodon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Lionsmith is ranked 104,284^th in the world and 22^nd in The Mansus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,293.73 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
