The United States of Lip Senaxia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 237 million Lip Senaxians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.6%.

The strong Lip Senaxian economy, worth 10.7 trillion dubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,246 dubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, and citizens are expected to be armed at all times. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lip Senaxia's national animal is the raccoon, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lip Senaxia is ranked 258,868^th in the world and 4,529^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -39.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
