The Lyrasayn Warzone Liason of Lyrasol is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by High Councillor Liv Ortega with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 3.841 billion Lyrasolians 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 Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gallior City. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Lyrasolian economy, worth 150 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 39,196 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, typing High Councillor Liv Ortega's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyrasol's national animal is the Earthworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lyrasol is ranked 274,692nd in the world and 13th in Warzone Airspace for Highest Average Incomes, with 39,196.68 Standard Monetary Units.
