The Dangerously Cute of Lipend is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Lonig with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.14 billion Lipendians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dur'lith. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lipendian economy, worth 342 trillion Consas 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 159,992 Consas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Populations of two-headed Tuis have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, and the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lipend's national animal is the Tui, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Femboyism.

Lipend is ranked 10,022nd in the world and 3rd in RPS for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,523.55 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
