The Republic of Lykerga is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning wolf population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 349 million Lykergans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The very strong Lykergan economy, worth 24.4 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 69,878 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,942 per year while the poor average 17,208, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Applications to enter seminaries spike right before the obligatory fasts, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lykerga's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lykerga is ranked 211,129^th in the world and 5^th in Altmora for Safest, scoring 32.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
