The Wandering Lionsroar of Lion Hordes is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by No one with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, state-planned economy, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.229 billion Lion Hordesians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Your backyard. The average income tax rate is 7.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lion Hordesian economy, worth 145 trillion Loewentalers 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. 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 45,126 Loewentalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is a crime to operate a combine harvester while intoxicated, voting is voluntary, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, and laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lion Hordes's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Everything.

Lion Hordes is ranked 262,317th in the world and 11th in The Gran Republic for Safest, scoring 11.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
