The Federation of Lioniel is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Alfonzo D Ferguson with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 20.53 billion Lionielians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catalania. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lionielia economy, worth a remarkable 3,498 trillion Patronuses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 170,427 Patronuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, international trade can be a pain to deal with, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lioniel's national animal is the Narwhal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lioniel is ranked 2,160th in the world and 96th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 141.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
