The Republic of Lichian is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Benjamin Gillis with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 24.776 billion Lichians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mhialn. The average income tax rate is 64.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lichian economy, worth a remarkable 6,250 trillion Gold Ducats a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 252,260 Gold Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, the military has gone fission for more funding, foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take, and East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Lichian. Crime is totally unknown. Lichian's national animal is the Lothian Ground Llama, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Judaeo-Christianity.

Lichian is ranked 30,942^nd in the world and 17^th in Texas for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
