The Republic of Lizzy Grant is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lana with a fair hand, and notable for its lack of airports, rampant corporate plagiarism, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.23 billion Lizzy Grantians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lizzy Grantian economy, worth a remarkable 1,394 trillion pabst blue ribbon on ices a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 169,476 pabst blue ribbon on ices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', citizens drive tank-like vehicles with mounted machine guns, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and multilingual concierges man empty inner city apartment blocks. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lizzy Grant's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lizzy Grant is ranked 1,174th in the world and 36th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 83.31 average smiles per day.
