The Sultanate of Lyyria is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Sultan Hafez Bashar al-Assad with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.284 billion Lyyrians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Damasca. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Lyyrian economy, worth 844 trillion Rials a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 101,994 Rials, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,002 per year while the poor average 24,131, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, bruised children are made to thank their bullies for the valuable life lessons, just as students finish their homework it's time for school, and stale 'yo mamma' insults have been replaced by 'your maternal DNA' insults. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyyria's national animal is the Lyyrian Camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Lyyria is ranked 93,162^nd in the world and 83^rd in Barbaria for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,007.21 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
