The Matriarchy of Lytaran is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Our Mother with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.192 billion Lytaranians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wellspring. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lytaranian economy, worth 814 trillion hugs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,892 hugs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, people with dyslexia are told to tough through it, Lytaran is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lytaran's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is agnosticism.

Lytaran is ranked 2,856^th in the world and 4^th in Cape of Good Hope for Most Cultured, scoring 219 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
