The Protectorate of Lyras is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Warmarshal Natasha Krell with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 40.9 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 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lyran economy, worth an astonishing 20,532 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 502,011 Varessan crowns, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Lyran Space Agency, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, and a degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics. 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 287,033rd in the world and 62nd in Greater Dienstad for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.21 missed references per hour.
