The Sultanate of Lower Byz Lawn is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 233 million Lower Byz Lawnians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lower Byz Lawnian economy, worth 8.52 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 36,565 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lower Byz Lawn's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, military spending recently hit a new high, meat-eating is frowned upon, and a byzantine web of conspiracies and secret alliances must be navigated any time legislation is voted upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lower Byz Lawn's national animal is the panther.

Lower Byz Lawn is ranked 119,058^th in the world and 2,483^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,134.72 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
