The Protectorate of Lyras is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Warmarshal Natasha Krell with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, sprawling nuclear power plants, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.092 billion Lyrans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Environment and Social Policy not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bredubar. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lyran economy, worth an astonishing 22,729 trillion Varessan crowns a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 504,063 Varessan crowns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,445,222 per year while the poor average 139,878, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

The government spares every expense for national defence, all gamers have been drafted into the military despite their lack of upper body strength, "The Pride of the Lyran Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil, and modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Lyras's national animal is the Lyran Drop Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lyras is ranked 89,009^th in the world and 39^th in Greater Dienstad for Most Developed, scoring 64.63 on the Human Development Index.
