The Sultanate of Lieriea is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 91 million Lierieans 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.5%.

The Lieriean economy, worth 4.46 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 48,990 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, joggers are often arrested for breathing too heavily, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', and Lieriean politicians spend a lot of time praising East Lebatuckese policies these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lieriea's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lieriea is ranked 257,094^th in the world and 74^th in Wintercrest for Largest Populations, with 91.0 million capita.
