The Scientific Hooliganism of Sierra Lyricalia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by everyone and no one with a fair hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.036 billion Lyricals are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Makhnovia. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lyrical economy, worth a remarkable 4,573 trillion ₦anotech dollars a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,131 ₦anotech dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sierra Lyricalia's national animal is the blue pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is that every man and woman is a pope.

Sierra Lyricalia is ranked 1,317th in the world and 1st in Anarchy for Most Stationary, with 4,391.70552264 days.
