The Principality of Lisander is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime-Minister Fernand Ecker with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.145 billion Lisanderians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soria. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lisanderian economy, worth a remarkable 4,651 trillion Lis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 210,053 Lis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A surprising number of travelers carry their water in vodka bottles, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, the media seems excessively interested in what Prime-Minister Fernand Ecker is wearing this season, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime is totally unknown. Lisander's national animal is the Ermine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Aristotelic Church.

Lisander is ranked 9,672nd in the world and 2nd in Astyria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
