The Empire of Lovely Lemons is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 83 million Lovely Lemonsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.9%.

The strong Lovely Lemonsian economy, worth 4.20 trillion appleses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 50,577 appleses, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lovely Lemons's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lovely Lemons is ranked 41,514^th in the world and 895^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,286 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
