The People's Republic of United States of LIZARB is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by The people with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 846 million Lizarbians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ailizarb. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Lizarbian economy, worth 12.1 trillion Reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 14,357 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are yearning to leave United States of LIZARB for the countries it sends aid to, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, every citizen is allowed exactly fifteen minutes of fame, and mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United States of LIZARB's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

United States of LIZARB is ranked 177,713^th in the world and 1,207^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 985.18 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
