The Rightly Guided Jamahuriyeh of Lysheim is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Amal Ayad with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 16.652 billion Lyshians 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 relatively small, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bei'mujeen. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lysheimian economy, worth a remarkable 4,322 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 259,608 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is hungry to spread communism beyond the nation's borders, tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, and citizens ask "how many crooks could a nunchuck hook if a nun had nunchucks too?". Crime is totally unknown. Lysheim's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Lysheim is ranked 10,805^th in the world and 29^th in Gay for Safest, scoring 118.82 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
