The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Diethnia Lyricalian economy, worth 179 trillion nanotech dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

Average income is 22,873 nanotech dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diethnia Lyricalia's national animal is the blue pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
