The Imperial Outpost of Ligonia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Jamias V with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate population of 8.436 billion Lygonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Löwenstadt. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ligonian economy, worth 792 trillion Lygmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,912 Lygmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, the nation takes the world's poor and tired and the huddled Masses yearning to breathe free, and celebrity wrestlers thumb their nose at due process. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ligonia's national animal is the Golden Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Ligonia is ranked 71,389^th in the world and 18^th in Modorra for Highest Average Incomes, with 93,912.52 Standard Monetary Units.
