The Empire of Lireira is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lira with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.144 billion Lireirans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lireirópolis. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lireiran economy, worth 406 trillion Líricoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,230 Líricoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is said that a Lireiran woman's work is never done, government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, and jokes told in elementary school often come back to haunt politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lireira's national animal is the Suricato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lirismo.

Lireira is ranked 144,807^th in the world and 15^th in Palatine for Largest Populations, with 3.14 billion capita.
