The Colony of Lycom is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.132 billion Lycomians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mav'i City. The average income tax rate is 77.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lycomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,182 trillion Koins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 286,083 Koins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, and being Governor has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lycom's national animal is the Alligator, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Individualism.

Lycom is ranked 7,249^th in the world and 13^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Patriotic, with 70.86 flags saluted per person per day.
