The Baseball Player of Lyle Overbay is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.839 billion Lyle Overbayians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lyle Overbayian economy, worth a remarkable 1,414 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,487 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, all industry is owned and run by the government, and the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyle Overbay's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lyle Overbay is ranked 39,844^th in the world and 1,357^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.76 law-abiding acts per hour.
