The Cosmic Epanastocracy of Pandaemonia Lyricalia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.002 billion Lyrical Demons enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The strong Pandaemonia Lyricalian economy, worth 562 trillion pieces of hate a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 62,457 pieces of hate, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 402,541 per year while the poor average 3,915, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pandaemonia Lyricalia's national animal is the mystic goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pandaemonia Lyricalia is ranked 125,716^th in the world and 37^th in Underworld for Most Patriotic, with 12.78 flags saluted per person per day.
