The Federal Republic of Lilabella is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Witness with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, aversion to nipples, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.906 billion Lilabellans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunabelis. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lilabellan economy, worth 677 trillion Lilas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,046 Lilas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", and the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lilabella's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Lilabella is ranked 300,211th in the world and 11th in Iris for Nicest Citizens, with 1.06 average smiles per day.
