The Defiant Village of Lidice is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 23.394 billion Human Beings 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Human Being economy, worth 465 trillion Roses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 19,914 Roses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Lidice's national animal is the Split-tailed Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lidice is ranked 14,369^th in the world and 1^st in Czechia for Largest Populations, with 23.4 billion capita.
