The Empire of Lireira is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lira with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.155 billion Lireirans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lireirópolis. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lireiran economy, worth 410 trillion Líricoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 130,174 Líricoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', belief that Lira is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, and the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lireira's national animal is the Suricato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lirismo.

Lireira is ranked 37,163^rd in the world and 14^th in Palatine for Most Patriotic, with 33.91 flags saluted per person per day.
