The Nationalist Republic of Lyretano is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.023 billion Lyretanoians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyretuno. The average income tax rate is 89.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lyretanoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,870 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,478 Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyretano's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestant Christanity.

Lyretano is ranked 38,216^th in the world and 34^th in Eientei Gensokyo for Highest Average Incomes, with 124,478.57 Standard Monetary Units.
