The Senate and People of New Lyrane is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sosi Patorete with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 28.529 billion Rireinukave hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haru. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.8%.

The all-consuming Rireinuan economy, worth a remarkable 4,026 trillion peris a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 141,137 peris, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 443,290 per year while the poor average 34,406, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

The Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, the endangered saltwater humpback zwilnik is only seen in captivity programs, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime is totally unknown. New Lyrane's national animal is the zwilnik, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Lyrane is ranked 285,942^nd in the world and 25^th in Rireinu for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.54 kickbacks per hour.
