The Riverside Van of Lemonadia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Lionel Anahi with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 16.353 billion Lemonads are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marvinvangrad. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lemonadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,771 trillion Marbles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,359 Marbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, and spontaneous nocturnal decapitation is considered 'death by natural causes' for enemies of Lemonadia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lemonadia's national animal is the Tropical Polar Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Godsiniaism.

Lemonadia is ranked 226,046^th in the world and 57^th in Thaecia for Largest Black Market, with 316 billion Standard Monetary Units.
