The Scientific Hooliganism of Sierra Lyricalia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by everyone and no one with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 29.539 billion Lyricals are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Makhnovia. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lyrical economy, worth a remarkable 4,800 trillion ₦anotech dollars a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,517 ₦anotech dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fattest folk in Sierra Lyricalia look to be the happiest ones, extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Sierra Lyricalia is often a lifetime appointment, in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sierra Lyricalia's national animal is the blue pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is that every man and woman is a pope.

Sierra Lyricalia is ranked 254,055^th in the world and 131^st in Anarchy for Safest, scoring 21.12 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
