The Kingdom of Lipola is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.208 billion Lipolans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.6%.

The powerhouse Lipolan economy, worth 94.9 trillion Zloties a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 78,559 Zloties, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, there are major delays at immigration checkpoints as travellers are forced to prove they belong to a major religion, a petition to improve Lipolan literacy is mostly signed with cross-marks, and money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lipola's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Lipola is ranked 190,905th in the world and 97th in Sun Tzu the Art of War for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
