The Free Land of Lyman Spitzer is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Giraffe population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.795 billion Lyman Spitzerians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.2%.

The very strong Lyman Spitzerian economy, worth 819 trillion Platinums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 51,905 Platinums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,560 per year while the poor average 13,170, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lyman Spitzer's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
