Lyran Designation: Declassified

The Lyran government is based on a feudal structure. There are 21 counties, each ruled by a
count. Four of the counties are "duchies" each ruled by a duke, who governs four of the remaining
counties in addition to his duchy. The 21st county is ruled by the King-Emperpor.

The Lyrans are superficially similar to their Kzinti neighbors. Federation Scientists have
theorized that Lyrans and Kzinti are decended from the same stock, but if this theoty is 
mentioned in the presence of a member either race, the discussion is likely to become 
bloody. The Lyrans once went to war with the Hydrans simply because the Hydrans claimed
that Lyrans and Kzinti were actually the same race.
