The Confederal Thalassocracy of Lilshire is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chairman Vaami with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.759 billion Lillians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sinthvaid. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lillian economy, worth a remarkable 1,632 trillion Shirings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 210,462 Shirings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A vast monorail network carries people all over the country, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury. Crime is totally unknown. Lilshire's national animal is the Flying Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is whatever you want it to be.

Lilshire is ranked 3,335^th in the world and 65^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Poor Incomes, with 185,565.71 Standard Monetary Units.
