The Republic of Lidenun is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 576 million Lidenunians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Environment, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lampin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The thriving Lidenunian economy, worth 37.6 trillion stolkas a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 65,308 stolkas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 222,916 per year while the poor average 14,079, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.

Peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, and Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lidenun's national animal is the hyena, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lidenun is ranked 32,572^nd in the world and 595^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 835.02 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
