The Free Land of Lizard Republic is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 283 million Lizard Republicians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Lizard Republician economy, worth 3.07 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,858 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, organ donation is compulsory, Lizard Republic's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lizard Republic's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lizard Republic is ranked 152,194th in the world and 3,318th in the Rejected Realms for Most Authoritarian, with 697.18 milliStalins.
