The Empire of Lireira is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Lira with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, digital currency, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.16 billion Lireirans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lireirópolis. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lireiran economy, worth 412 trillion Líricoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 130,585 Líricoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, cheap and tasteless vegetables flood the markets, and the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lireira's national animal is the Suricato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lirismo.

Lireira is ranked 15,439^th in the world and 1^st in Palatine for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.84 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
