The Queendom of Lily valley is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 4.073 billion Zoulans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xaniya. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zoulani economy, worth 558 trillion Bartazzes 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 significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,047 Bartazzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lily valley's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lily valley is ranked 9,112th in the world and 214th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,671.63 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
