The Republic of Light56 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.075 billion Light56ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.7%.

The thriving Light56ian economy, worth 456 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 89,894 rupees, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Light56, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Light56 City, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", and government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Light56's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Light56 is ranked 243,911th in the world and 3,448th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 20.7970700232 days.
