The Queendom of Lyovia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dread Queen Seinre Verai with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.587 billion Forsaken are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandora. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Forsaken economy, worth a remarkable 3,776 trillion Tears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 174,923 Tears, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Pandora make great practice for foreign snipers, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyovia's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is No religion.

Lyovia is ranked 11,632nd in the world and 11th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Highest Food Quality, scoring 151.05 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
