The Eternal Empire of Lygonia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Jamias V with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 30.879 billion Lygonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Löwenstadt. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Lygonian economy, worth a remarkable 9,876 trillion Lygmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 319,850 Lygmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors are trying to diagnose diseases by looking at their patients' Snipchat pictures, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and in-cite-ment never happens at tea parties. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lygonia's national animal is the Golden Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Lygonia is ranked 319,950^th in the world and 29^th in Modorra for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -38.99 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
