The Lonely Fields of Lysandrion is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by John Doe with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.588 billion Lysandrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Refuge. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Lysenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,579 trillion Lyses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,762 Lyses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lysandrians teach life's not worth a damn 'til you can shout out 'I am what I am', unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lysandrion's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lysandrion is ranked 2,114^th in the world and 28^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 142.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
