The Allied States of Lernaea is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 19.875 billion Lernaeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 25.9%.

The very strong Lernaean economy, worth a remarkable 1,186 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 59,676 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

A historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, a major religion has been named as Lernaea's national religion, the Federal Council of Lernaea has been announced as the new Head of State, and the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lernaea's national animal is the Lernaean Hydra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Lernaea is ranked 129,189^th in the world and 124^th in Wintreath for Highest Average Incomes, with 59,676.41 Standard Monetary Units.
