The Kingdom of Lycadia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by High King Lycan with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, national health service, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 8.158 billion Lycadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tamaska. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lycadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,418 trillion Gias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 173,917 Gias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (Lycadia has found 1 easter egg), and male politicians lose their jobs for staring too long at their female counterparts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lycadia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Akavir.

Lycadia is ranked 183,491st in the world and 82nd in Africa for Most Stationary, with 73.46302242808 days.
