The Kingdom of Royal du Lys is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.735 billion Royal du Lysians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.
The thriving Royal du Lysian economy, worth 696 trillion Francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 71,527 Francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 238,069 per year while the poor average 16,013, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.
Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Royal du Lys's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Royal du Lys is ranked 11,568th in the world and 6th in Paraverse for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
