The Borderlands of Lzecov Islands is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 460 million Lzeci enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora-Australis. The average income tax rate is 6.7%.

The powerhouse Lzecov economy, worth 31.6 trillion shillings a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,610 shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The "give and take" of international diplomacy often happens at gunpoint, corrupt industrial practices are spreading like a plague, cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death, and the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Lzecov Islands's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lzecov Islands is ranked 271,173^rd in the world and 3,347^th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.75 flags saluted per person per day.
