The Democratic Monarchy of Lievenland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Mikkael with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.945 billion Lievians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fjåltir. The average income tax rate is 84.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lievenian economy, worth 415 trillion Gelds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,964 Gelds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, and the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lievenland's national animal is the Lievenian Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nordic Paganism.

Lievenland is ranked 96,529^th in the world and 466^th in Europeia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 184.95 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
