The Commonwealth of Lyuon is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 56 million Lyuonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.4%.

The strong Lyuonian economy, worth 2.73 trillion Penneses a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,771 Penneses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyuon's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lyuon is ranked 108,753^rd in the world and 196^th in The League for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,191.88 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
