The Queendom of Eng Lyra is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 134 million Eng Lyrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Eng Lyran economy, worth 3.85 trillion kibbles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,741 kibbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eng Lyra's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eng Lyra is ranked 252,961^st in the world and 246^th in Astoria for Largest Populations, with 134 million capita.
