saint lyaos

saint lyaos is a fictional country that i rule on the text-based browser game nationstates.net. although the game itself is not meant to be taken seriously, i have dedicated a fair amount of time to developing it beyond the autogenerated summary my in-game actions produce on NS, which is nevertheless an okay introduction. however, i advise you to ignore the raw stats on that page; population is particularly inaccurate, as on nationstates your population can only grow and never decline, and there is no way to put constraints on its growth (such as by being a northern island nation with limited agricultural potential).

Saint Lyaos, or Líyáyos as it is known to the locals, is an island nation located in the northern hemisphere of whatever Earth-like planet it's on. The island is mountainous, although a substantial amount of it is lightly hilly foothills, which is the main inhabited area of the island. The island, like many in the region, is home to a variety of unique birds and small mammals, although the only large animal on the island is a domesticated woolly animal called the chusa.
