The Unitary Ecumenical Ecclesia of Liossalde is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Holy Popesecretary Pius XXXVIII with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 23.509 billion Liossaldians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Whitby. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Liossaldian economy, worth a remarkable 3,416 trillion Liossaldian Soliduses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 145,340 Liossaldian Soliduses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, Holy Popesecretary Pius XXXVIII is worshipped as a god, and prudishness is on the way out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liossalde's national animal is the golden dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ecumenical Liossaldianism.

Liossalde is ranked 6,803rd in the world and 26th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Cultured, scoring 142 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
