The Lonely Fields of Lysandrion is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by John Doe with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.665 billion Lysandrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Refuge. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lysenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,589 trillion Lyses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,447 Lyses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, children searching for cat videos must watch dogs in equal proportion, and every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lysandrion's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lysandrion is ranked 2,099th in the world and 44th in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,601.73 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
