The Federation of Lioniel is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Alfonzo D Ferguson with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 20.778 billion Lionielians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catalania. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lionielia economy, worth a remarkable 3,559 trillion Patronuses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 171,301 Patronuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, and faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lioniel's national animal is the Narwhal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Lioniel is ranked 278,916th in the world and 10,431st in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 6.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
