The Federal Republic of Lippeland is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Bernhard zur Lippe with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 7.775 billion Lippelandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buchenfurt. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient lippelandish economy, worth a remarkable 1,410 trillion Lippmarks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,398 Lippmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is in perpetual campaign mode, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, refugees from other nations are flocking to Lippeland's border, and the newest shade developed by Lippeland's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lippeland's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lippeland is ranked 7,581^st in the world and 11^th in Lands End for Largest Governments, scoring 38.51 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
