The Most Serene Republic of Upper Lamennes Cifrean is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.371 billion Upper Lamennes Cifreanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Lamennes Cifreanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,616 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 142,143 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 725,910 per year while the poor average 15,322, a ratio of 47.4 to 1.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, future leaders of Upper Lamennes Cifrean regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and the Upper Lamennes Cifrean City Film Festival recently voted 'Upper Lamennes Cifreanian Getting Hit By Football' as best film. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Upper Lamennes Cifrean's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Upper Lamennes Cifrean is ranked 19,014^th in the world and 351^st in NationStates for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,244.8 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
