The Republic of South Lyna Hortus is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 133 million South Lyna Hortusians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 29.5%.

The South Lyna Hortusian economy, worth 8.18 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,534 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, and religious households enthusiastically use whips in private. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. South Lyna Hortus's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

South Lyna Hortus is ranked 79,301^st in the world and 1,649^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,679.53 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
