The Commonwealth of Lower Lsana Jes is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by High Emperor Silas with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.933 billion Lower Lsana Jesians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lsana. The average income tax rate is 34.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lower Lsana Jesian economy, worth 258 trillion dollars 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. 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 an impressive 133,593 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Activists are attempting to repeal Moore's Law, students spend the school year learning how great the education system is, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower Lsana Jes's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Silans.

Lower Lsana Jes is ranked 116,021^st in the world and 2,574^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,108.08 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
