The Riverside Van of Lemonadia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lionel Anahi with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 11.288 billion Lemonads love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marvinvangrad. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lemonadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,238 trillion Marbles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,718 Marbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, journalists often nap through tedious police press briefings, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, and imitation is the sincerest form of felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lemonadia's national animal is the Tropical Polar Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Godsiniaism.

Lemonadia is ranked 276,037^th in the world and 195^th in Thaecia for Most Primitive, scoring -290.66 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
