The Lily Livery of Fjolmidlum is a titanic, genial nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.531 billion Fjols 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 relatively small, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kallisti. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fjolish economy, worth a remarkable 1,769 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Retail, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 153,482 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, and diaper-wrapped falafel is a fan-favorite. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fjolmidlum's national animal is the Predator Drone, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Erisianism.

Fjolmidlum is ranked 2,048th in the world and 1st in The International Union of Boygirls for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 9,178.07 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
