The Republic of Fleur de Lys is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Charles André Alexandre Mécra with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.376 billion Lysiens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coeur. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lysien economy, worth a remarkable 3,313 trillion Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 190,668 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Large sections of Fleur de Lys have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, the tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and Charles André Alexandre Mécra is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fleur de Lys's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fleur de Lys is ranked 178,440^th in the world and 222^nd in Eurth for Most Armed, with 0.29 weapons per person.
