The People's Republic of Lysergide is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 85 million Lysergideans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 54.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lysergidean economy, worth 2.29 trillion jaronas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 26,973 jaronas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, there's a bright dawn ahead for Lysergide, and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lysergide's national animal is the cuttlefish.

Lysergide is ranked 126,710^th in the world and 1,641^st in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 579.36 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
