The Wandering Lionsroar of Lion Hordes is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by No one with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, digital currency, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.465 billion Horde Members 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 Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Your backyard. The average income tax rate is 20.1%.

The thriving Lion Hordesian economy, worth 326 trillion Loewentalers a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,023 Loewentalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The most common answers to where babies come from are "uh... ask your mother" and "um... ask your father", grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, and the hills are alive with the smell of burning flesh. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lion Hordes's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Everything.

Lion Hordes is ranked 196,295th in the world and 1st in Outpost Lionheart for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 720.25 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
