The Lyrical Lazarene Embassy of Lambda Lyricalia is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.597 billion Lambda Lyricalians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 34.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Lambda Lyricalian economy, worth 334 trillion nanotech dollars 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 black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. 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 28,823 nanotech dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lambda Lyricalia's national animal is the blue pig.

Lambda Lyricalia is ranked 181,718^th in the world and 8,203^rd in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 346.35 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
