The Queendom of Lyovia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Dread Queen Seinre Verai with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.485 billion Forsaken are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandora. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Forsaken economy, worth a remarkable 3,753 trillion Tears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 174,706 Tears, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Pandora make great practice for foreign snipers, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyovia's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is No religion.

Lyovia is ranked 1,589^th in the world and 1^st in The Brotherhood of Malice for Lowest Crime Rates, with 153.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
