The Holy Greater Reich of The Race of Lizards is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by der Kaiser with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.955 billion Races are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Empire City. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient the Race economy, worth an astonishing 13,265 trillion Reich Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 511,076 Reich Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing der Kaiser to progressive thinkers, songs of praise to der Kaiser are filled with coded messages from the resistance, The Race of Lizards is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Race of Lizards's national animal is the Vampire, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Spirit of Emperors past.

The Race of Lizards is ranked 12,911th in the world and 800th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
