The Federal Republic of Lion686 is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 335 million Lion686ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lion686ian economy, worth 23.2 trillion catnips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 69,158 catnips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lion686's national animal is the Meowing Cats, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lion686 is ranked 56,113^th in the world and 1^st in The Intergalactic Frontier for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,792.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
