The country of Lyrisia' national broadcaster, "Radio Televizija Lajrisija (RTL), is a member of the PBA (Plastics Broadcasting Association) making Lyrisia eligible to participate in the Plastics Song Contest

Geography
Lyrisia is a predominantly mountainous and hilly country with around 75% of the country living over 1000m above sea level. The mountains and hills are usually covered by lush evergreen pine forests and are carved by rivers that form large canyons and gorges some only passable by boat. Located in the Kopaonik Region to the East of the country, Mt. Rtanj - the highest point in Lyrisia - reaches 6250m above sea level and is a popular route for pilgrims who follow the Eastern Orthodox faiths as there are various shrines and monasteries speckled around the mountain. Other notable types of landscape that can be found in Lyrisia are Canyons - most notable the Uvac River Canyon - and the high plateaus of Esnija where one can find the majestic Őlszárezséki Towers. Despite the cold mountainous landscape inland Lyrisia has very warm and dry summers when many of the citizens who live inland flock to the coast in cities such as Zaječar or Kotor. One of the most famous sites for most tourists is the Kotor old town which dates back hundreds of years when Kotori people - who were similar to the Lyrisian people - used to be a hub for trade and commerce. Furthermore, along the coast one can find many small islands and islets some of which are inhabited by a few people or are completely empty/deserted.

The remaining 4% of the population is made up of various other ethnic groups, mainly from the list above, however there exists around 25 more people groups in Lyrisia.

 * Serbs

Politics
The Republic of Lyrisia is governed by the League of Bitches which is an establishment that determines the laws, taxes, budget of the country. There are four women who hold the state as Over-Bitch, namely:
 * Illen Tulvine - Big Bitch - The head of the country and decides on all tiebreakers within the group of 4. Illen has starred in many Lyrisian Adult-Films and is a strong-advocator for the further investment into the lucrative business of Adult-Films
 * Goga Sekulić - Shady Bitch - Goga is the second-in-command to Illen and rose to political power after sitting on all of her competition
 * Zhanar Dugalova - Hot Bitch - Zhanar is a Lyrisian singer who serves in the League of Bitches. She was voted Lyrisia' most beautiful women for the last 3 years and is seen as the nation's sweetheart
 * Sirusho - Fab Bitch - Sirusho is a well-known singer however she is also revered for her sense in fashion and is noted as one of the most influential beings in Lyrisia with regards to fashion

Parties in the League of Bitches
Aside from the four Over-Bitches, various parties make up the 450 seats in the Lyrisian parliament the largest two being the "Boobilite Party" and the "Siliconers". These two parties make up the majority of the parliament and have many disagreements as the Boobilite party advocate for a more natural body and believe that boobs should be left-untouched. However the Siliconers are a party that believes the Silicon can be advantageous to the country especially in the adult-film industry. Other minor parties include:
 * Big Bush Party
 * DildoLords
 * Ass-Clappers
 * Independent Whores

Typically the two main parties go head-to-head when discussing policies and new laws that either want to make and add to the constitution. The way that the matter of law-making is settled is a Twerk-Off judged by the 4 members of the Over-Bitch category. Usually the Twerk-Off is judged by the duration at which someone can twerk, the technique and the sound quality of ass cheeks being slapped against each other. Random party members are selected for the challenge of the Twerk-Off meaning that all members of the various parties go through a vigorous Twerk-Training-Camp so as to be able to stand out in the Twerk-Off.

Plastics Mafia
The Plastics Mafia is an internationally recognised criminal organisation operating in the Plastics Underworld and commits crimes in various countries throughout the Plastics World bringing their name to the centre of the International Press. The organisation has a reputation for hacking, dildo/pornographic film production, arson, prostitution amongst other illegal activities and has also been accused of fixing and altering the results of the international music competition, the Plastics Song Contest. The Mafia organisation is known to include members from all over the Plastics world from countries such as Lyrisia, San Monetta, Wanheda and many others. Prior to the second edition of the Plastics Song Contest, the Plastics Mafia was a relatively unknown organisation, however, with the voting scandal the group's atrocities have been brought to light and are hitting headlines throughout the Plastics World. Due to the heated rivalry between the Plastics Broadcasting Association and the Plastics Mafia with whom the Government of Lyrisia is allegedly involved with, specifically Illen Tulvine, the PBA launched an investigation to try and find evidence against the country as they suspected them of being involved in criminal activities. However, the broadcasting association could not find any concrete evidence other than the fact that one leading light in the mafia Turbo-Bitch was hiding in the Lyrisian Highlands and there was no evidence of a connection with her and the Lyrisian Government. Because of this, The PBA were forced to drop the allegations for the time being as they had no basis to prosecute the government or the national broadcaster of Lyrisia - Radio Televizija Lajrisija

The Haunted Ass Of Lyrisia
On the 6th January 2017 the Lyrisian Government wished to change the flag of the country which bore the logo of one of Lyrisia's most popular beers. Due to the fact that the Government had been receiving letters from other beer companies to change it - as they thought it was unfair to show only one beer brand - the country decided to change their flag.

Despite this, on every attempt to change the flags, online and in physical form, the old previous flag kept on returning leading to people branding it at "The Haunted Ass Of Lyrisia". The government blamed hackers for the online incidents of the flags returning and hooligans for taking down the new flag a replacing them with the old flag, however no evidence was produced. The mystery is still unsolved, however after a week or so the old flag died down and the occurrences of a the flags being switched stopped.

Butt-Beer
Butt-Beer is the most popular beer that is available in Lyrisia after appearing in one of Illen Tulvine's many pornographic films. Prior to the product-placement, Butt-Beer was an unknown brand however after the incident, whereby the product appeared in the film, purchases of the brand began to increase exponentially making it one of the most popular and influential brands in Lyrisia. The Beer was so loved in fact, that it became the national symbol of Lyrisia and appeared on the flag before being changed due to uprising from other beer and beverage companies.

Whoreovision and Plastics Song Contest
Radio Televizija Lajrisija, the national broadcaster of Lyrisia, applied to join the PBA - Plastics Broadcasting Association - before the beginning of the Plastics Song Contest 1 so that Lyrisia could participate in the music festival. After the application was accepted by the PBA, Lyrisia was eligible to take part in the contest. RTL decided to organise a national final to decide who would represent Lyrisia in the Plastics Song Contest. The state broadcaster came up with a trial National Final called Whoreovision which would be a one-day event consisting of 4 songs, a televote as well as an international jury. In the first edition of the Plastics Song Contest, Lyrisia was present in Wanheda and represented by singer Nikolija who sung her song Niko Kao Mi.

Honourary Kings and Queens
The state of Lyrisia - despite being a republic - has appointed numerous "Honourary Kings and Queens" who have excelled in their profession and portrayed Lyrisia in a positive light. As of 2017 the list of Honourary Kings and Queens is:


 * MELOVIN
 * Nina Sublatti
 * Bojana Stamenov

Language
There are three main languages that are spoken in the region occupied by the Republic of Lyrisia namely, Lyrisian (spoken by around 95% of the population) as well as Őlszárezséki (spoken by around 6% of the population) and finally Ūhinian (spoken by around 5% of the population). The three languages are completely different from one another as they all evolved in isolation from one another - Őlszárezséki and Ūhinian are spoken in mountain parishes and so avoided contact with the Lyrisian language.

The Lyrisian Language
The Lyrisian language is a language that is spoken by the majority of the population on Lyrisia as it is the official language of the country and it is also spoken in the Eastern provinces of Qaimoriya as well. The language is related to the Serbian and Macedonian and bears similarities in vocabulary, grammar and alphabet.

The Lyrisian language utilises two alphabets, Cyrillic and Latin with both being utilised equally - however the Cyrillic alphabet is taught first in schools as it is the older of the two alphabets and the Lyrisian government what to preserve it as much as possible. The language has 32 letters which each have a specific sound making that Lyrisian language a phonetic language and pronunciation as well as writing easy.

Here is an example text of the Lyrisian language:
 * Cyrillic: Изнад облака звезде показали бер и драгуљи блистало апаратим у даљини и оних близу. Висио високо у ваздух два љубавника у шапутање тишини. Шта че уплашити наш мир? Пукотине се поѧвили, али су запечачени, али вечи олуѧ дошла.
 * Latin: Iznad oblaka zvezde pokazali ber i draguļi blistalo aparatim u daļini i onih blizu. Visio visoko u vazduh dva ļubavnika u šaputaņe tišini. Šta če uplašiti naš mir? Pukotine se pojavili, ali su zapečačeni, ali veči oluja došla.
 * English: Above the clouds the stars showed numberless and the gems glistened oth in the distance and those close by. Hung high in the air two lovers in the whispering silence. What will frighten our peace? Cracks emerged, yet they sealed but a greater storm came.

(It is worth noting that this was written by singer "Nikolija" who thinks that she is very smart but in reality, isn't)

Őlszárezséki
The Őlszárezséki language is a language isolate related to no other language in the Plastics world the only language that it shares some features with is the Lyrisian language, however that is only due to the fact that Lyrisian is a more influential language and there the Őlszárezséki language has adopted some words from the Lyrisian language. Őlszárezséki is a very complicated language with 30 different noun cases and is an agglutanive language meaning that prefixes and suffixes are added to the end of words to create even longer words or even sentences. This enables the language to create very precise words with immense detail unlike any language. The Őlszárezséki language has 44 defined letters but in some regions diphthongs are considered to be letters meaning that the number could actually be much higher, however the official number according to the Institute of the Őlszárezséki language is 44.

Ūhinian
The Ūhinian language is the least spoken endemic language to Lyrisia spoken by around 5% of the population mainly in the North of the country. The language uses an Abugida instead of an alphabet which means their writing system consists of symbols that represent a specific sound that can be made. Ūhinian grammar can be fairly complex as they have many sentence particles that cannot be translated like suffixes indicating which word is the subject. In contrast to this, conjugation is very simple as their exists no conjugation for verbs - the only differentiation is with the personal pronouns. The convey time and place the Ūhinian uses a prefix that is added to the verb which will state whether the action occurred or will occur or would have occurred etc. The language, like Őlszárezséki, is completely different to the main language of Lyrisia and can be considered even more so due to the completely different grammar structure, alphabet and writing system and the lack of loan-words that the language has from Lyrisian.

Railway
The government of Lyrisia has invested heavily into the railway network of the country so as to speed up times between cities and reduce the amount of pollution being produces by motor vehicles and Illen's ass. The country has purchased state of the art "Penetration Trains" that have been equipped with the latest safety features whereby the train will produce orgasmic noises when going through a tunnel so as to keep train drivers alert during the dark environment.

Roads and Motorways
Lyrisia has a fairly large motorway network with highways connecting all of the main cities together. The map on the left shows the network of roads with the green ones already opened and the red ones under construction. Around 80% of roads in Lyrisia are paved with the motorways being equipped with lights so as to make it easier to drive in the night and bad weather conditions. The many new roads that are under construction were funded entirely by Illen Tulvine's personal income as she was fed up with people being late to the set of her many adult-films and thought that a new system of motorways would solve the problem. The construction is expected to finish in 2019.

International Relations
The country of Lyrisia strives to be considered as a diplomatic country and maintain friendly international relations with all the countries the the Plastics. Lyrisia offers a visa-free regime and is very flexible with regards to their immigration laws hence the motto of the country: "We Let Anyone In ;)". The country has embassies in every country in the world, however had to evacuate the ambassador to San Monetta after a short 10 minute war erupted between the two countries.  The sitation escalated to a point whereby Illen Tulvine was forced to mobilise her Gay-Propaganda loudspeakers to combat the leaders of the country.  The conflict died down within a matter of minutes after Zhanar Dugalova and Sirusho talked some sense into Illen and she took back her threats of war.  Since then the country of San Monetta has experienced a regime change and now the two countries are very close.

The Sirusho Bridge
The Sirusho bridge, also known as the Lyrisia-Wanheda Corridor, is a motorway and railway suspension bridge that was opened in February 2017 but the head of Lyrisia, Illen Tulvine and the President of Cerulea, Shaniqua Satanic, - two leading lights in the Plastics Sex Industry. The bridge was dedicated to Lyrisian-Wanhedan singer Sirusho who has donated much of her time to improving the life in the two countries and the relations between them. The bridge was designed by Sirusho and approved by the heads of state of either country and featured Dildo-shaped towers to represent the Wanhedan culture and many steel beams to represent the straps on Illen's bra which require steel-like strength. On the opening night, the two politicians performed the renowned Lyrisian/Wanhedan sex dance which involves violent twerking and slutdropping which unfortunately, weakened the structure of the bridge and will have to have minor repair work done to it. The Governments of two countries signed an open border policy which removed the need for passports when entering either country.
