The Protectorate of Lyras is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Warmarshal Natasha Krell with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, avowedly heterosexual populace, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 39.574 billion Lyrans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Environment and Social Policy not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bredubar. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Lyran economy, worth an astonishing 19,826 trillion Varessan crowns a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 501,003 Varessan crowns, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.
Even secular Lyrans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents, and the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Lyras's national animal is the Lyran Drop Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Lyras is ranked 115,063rd in the world and 60th in Greater Dienstad for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
