The Maretriarchy of New Lyrein is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by God-Empress Twilight Sparkle with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 23.356 billion Ponies hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hockruvo. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse New Lyreinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,384 trillion bits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,106 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, New Lyrein's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Lyrein's national animal is the zwilnik, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Love And Tolerance.

New Lyrein is ranked 8,569th in the world and 16th in Rireinu for Most Stationary, with 2,584.11239477812 days.
