The Dictatorship of Lixonia is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 69 million Lixonians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lixonian economy, worth 2.95 trillion Lixocols 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 led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,778 Lixocols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lixonia's national animal is the Red Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lixonia is ranked 79,384^th in the world and 850^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,671.5 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
