The Technocratic Federation of Lycantine is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Catherine Banks with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 8.392 billion Lycantineans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyzantium. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lycantinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,658 trillion Lychans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,599 Lychans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Lycantinean politicians, and the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lycantine's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lycantine is ranked 81,701st in the world and 2nd in Anegana for Most Stationary, with 591.843892053 days.
