The Solist Empire of Lenlyvit is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 23.145 billion Lenlyvitians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solistaria. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Lenlyvitian economy, worth a remarkable 3,382 trillion Lens a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 146,164 Lens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, the aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Lenlyvitians, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, and the government is cracking down on subversive groups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lenlyvit's national animal is the Lenlyvalk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Solism.

Lenlyvit is ranked 1,029^th in the world and 1^st in The Hole To Hide In for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 15,502.9 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
