The Colony of Green Lizard is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 67 million Green Lizardians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Green Lizardian economy, worth 1.88 trillion Preys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is 27,986 Preys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Green Lizard's national animal is the Green Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Green Lizard is ranked 147,293rd in the world and 3,661st in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 9.43 flags saluted per person per day.
