The Rogue Nation of Lyautesie is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 376 million Lyautesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 11.9%.

The very strong Lyautesiean economy, worth 23.0 trillion Lyautesian livres a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 61,298 Lyautesian livres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has the power to seize property at will, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Lyautesie's national animal is the Caldisian leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lyautesie is ranked 110,836^th in the world and 2,275^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 80.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
