The Republic of Lyramisa is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Laica with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 892 million Lyramisans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Auroria. The average income tax rate is 54.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lyramisan economy, worth 105 trillion Eris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,924 Eris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Laica, polls predict that the hot favourites next election cycle are pop idols and cartoon characters, and octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyramisa's national animal is the Fénix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lyramisa is ranked 152,323^rd in the world and 399^th in Horizon for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 450.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
