The Kingdom of New Lilania is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 156 million Lilanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 32.5%.

The New Lilanian economy, worth 7.88 trillion Lilies 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. 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 50,512 Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Lilania's national animal is the Polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Lilania is ranked 50,111th in the world and 117th in Wintreath for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 618.15 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
