The Republic of Lightners Live is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Ralsei population. The hard-working population of 2.678 billion lightners have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.2%.

The Rock band economy, worth 118 trillion points a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 44,345 points, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lightners Live's national animal is the Ralsei.

Lightners Live is ranked 194,612^th in the world and 16^th in Dark World for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 304.04 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
