The Federation of Lioniel is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Alfonzo D Ferguson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical population of 20.535 billion Lionielians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catalania. The average income tax rate is 56.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lionielia economy, worth a remarkable 3,497 trillion Patronuses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 170,340 Patronuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Millions of Patronuses have been thrown into a project to find the cure for Mad Narwhal Disease, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lioniel's national animal is the Narwhal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lioniel is ranked 1,412th in the world and 49th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 320 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
