The Grand Matriarchy of Lillitheve is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Grand Matriarch Emma yi Armstrong with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.245 billion Lillithevens are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Themis. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lillithevean economy, worth 298 trillion Lupins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 91,913 Lupins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, and players panic as they discover the newest chain can reset their populations and even delete their nations (Lillitheve has found 8 easter eggs). Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lillitheve's national animal is the Easter Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Disparate Wisdoms.

Lillitheve is ranked 9,694^th in the world and 53^rd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,653.35 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
