The Holy Empire of Lilacland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord of All with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.6 billion Lilaclandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basedtopia. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lilaclandian economy, worth 711 trillion crumbs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. 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 127,086 crumbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Wars are filled with soldiers wielding machetes and chainsaws for safety reasons, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, and half-naked men feature prominently in official military materials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lilacland's national animal is the redditor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sus.

Lilacland is ranked 2,215th in the world and 1st in The ME Sector for Most Primitive, scoring 173.27 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
