The Principality of Lisander is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime-Minister Fernand Ecker with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.942 billion Lisanderians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soria. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lisanderian economy, worth a remarkable 4,899 trillion Lis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 213,553 Lis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals are thrown to the Ermines to repay their debt to society, the only thing that can pin down a "superhero" is red tape, the government denies that it has an agency overseeing plausible deniability of black-ops agencies, and the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle. Crime is totally unknown. Lisander's national animal is the Ermine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Aristotelic Church.

Lisander is ranked 11,940^th in the world and 9^th in Astyria for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
