The Empire of Lionkins is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 451 million Lionkinsians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arakans. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.2%.

The all-consuming Lionkinsian economy, worth 43.1 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 95,671 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, religious education is a new government priority, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and school children are expected to know the names of all seven hundred native tribes and their cultural practices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lionkins's national animal is the lion.

Lionkins is ranked 170,923^rd in the world and 4,072^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 71.5 billion Standard Monetary Units.
