The Holy Golden Imperial State of Lis Gomer is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Susan Delront with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.353 billion Lis Gomerians 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 primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Gumer. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lis Gomerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,662 trillion Imperial credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 310,621 Imperial credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,426,586 per year while the poor average 41,038, a ratio of 34.8 to 1.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, property subletting is going underground, and official maps have to be revised on a weekly basis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lis Gomer's national animal is the panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Pierre Dubo.

Lis Gomer is ranked 290,281^st in the world and 11,504^th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.2 average smiles per day.
