The Rogue Nation of Center Lisle is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Pops with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.428 billion Center Lisleans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Vacri. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Center Lislean economy, worth a remarkable 1,989 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 267,873 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, bailiffs must face down a fusillade of depleted uranium rounds, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Center Lisle's national animal is the Rabid Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Center Lisle is ranked 4,681^st in the world and 124^th in the South Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 95.15 Effective Tax Rate.
