The Federal Republic of Lion22 is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical population of 673 million Lion22ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.4%.

The strong Lion22ian economy, worth 50.0 trillion catnips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 74,347 catnips, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

A historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, compass sales have gone south, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and the first sword of Lion22 does not run. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lion22's national animal is the Meowing Cats, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lion22 is ranked 161,481^st in the world and 36^th in Nordwrath for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,515.49 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
