The Protectorate of Lyras is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Warmarshal Natasha Krell with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.995 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 22,678 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 504,016 Varessan crowns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,434,838 per year while the poor average 141,258, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Lyran ambassadors, blue bloods are welcome in Lyras, solar death ray construction will commence as soon as it rains Varessan crowns, and retail boutiques encourage citizens to honor their military veterans by purchasing flag-patterned underwear. 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 1,779^th in the world and 2^nd in Greater Dienstad for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 8,591.76 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
