The Dictatorship of Lixonia is a large, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 86 million Lixonians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Lixonian economy, worth 4.50 trillion Lixocols 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,376 Lixocols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lixonia's national animal is the Red Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lixonia is ranked 273,695^th in the world and 992^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.59 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
