The Queendom of Lily valley is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 4.162 billion Zoulans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xaniya. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Zoulani economy, worth 574 trillion Bartazzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 138,064 Bartazzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lily valley's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lily valley is ranked 20,867^th in the world and 503^rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 273.72 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
