The Democratic Monarchy of Lievenland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Mikkael with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.849 billion Lievians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fjåltir. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lievenian economy, worth 385 trillion Gelds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,580 Gelds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, King Mikkael's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, the government has spread itself thin, and paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lievenland's national animal is the Lievenian Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nordic Paganism.

Lievenland is ranked 305,208^th in the world and 1,243^rd in Europeia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 761.52 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
