The Republic of XII Lyrical Int Brigade is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.905 billion XII Lyrical Int Brigadeans 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, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish XII Lyrical Int Brigadean economy, worth 240 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 27,037 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. XII Lyrical Int Brigade's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

XII Lyrical Int Brigade is ranked 90,096^th in the world and 4,820^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
