The Holy Golden Imperial State of Lis Gomer is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Susan Delront with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.568 billion Lis Gomerians 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Gumer. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lis Gomerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,472 trillion Imperial credits a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 326,680 Imperial credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,035,777 per year while the poor average 78,554, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Basketball players are sick and tired of the court, murder suspects plead the 'there was a rat beneath his chef's hat' defense, history lessons resemble a who's-who and how's-how of crime, and the recycled air in planes is nauseating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Lis Gomer's national animal is the panda and its national religion is Cult of Pierre Dubo.

Lis Gomer is ranked 33,238^th in the world and 1,172^nd in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,951.97 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
