The Dangerously Cute of Lipend is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Lonig with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.238 billion Lipendians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dur'lith. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lipendian economy, worth 364 trillion Consas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,887 Consas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, news headlines suggest that Lonig has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lipend's national animal is the Tui, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Femboyism.

Lipend is ranked 6,858^th in the world and 1^st in RPS for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 93.41 Effective Tax Rate.
