The Nationalist Republic of Lyretano is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The cynical, devout population of 13.781 billion Lyretanoians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyretuno. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lyretanoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,687 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,473 Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Dark net forums trade the encryption keys to immortality, the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, and the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Lyretuno for fear of causing a fuss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyretano's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestant Christanity.

Lyretano is ranked 9,305^th in the world and 13^th in Eientei Gensokyo for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,662.36 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
