The Free Land of Lyariona is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Julius Illyia with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.892 billion Lyarions enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Administration is also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zyestra. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lyarionic economy, worth 727 trillion Lyarionic Notes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 148,646 Lyarionic Notes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 805,871 per year while the poor average 14,149, a ratio of 57.0 to 1.

Ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Lyarionic pirates, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, the government has enacted freedom of information, and the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lyariona's national animal is the Moneybird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Zephyrism.

Lyariona is ranked 323,035^th in the world and 17,406^th in Osiris for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
