The official language of Lysandus is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language Lysandean], a standard which is closely tied to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language Znalt] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language Lorian]. Lysandean started to diverge during the 14<sup>th</sup> century, a trend which was encouraged in the following century by governments desirous of asserting the distinctiveness of Lysandean culture from the Sacroimperial cultures. Spelling rules were simplified at various occasions to erase irregularities and reduce the number of available [[wikipedia:grapheme|graphemes]], while pronunciation remained closer to that of Znalt's. Regional languages are practically extinct after their use has been continuously discouraged by the state for more than 700 years. Nearly all lysandean now speak only Lysandean, or Znalt as a secondary language, even though the two are mostly mutually intelligible.

A wide variety of sports are available in Lysandus, the most popular being [[Football|soccer]], auto sports and rowing. Most were introduced during the 19<sup>th</sup> century, but reached their full extent during the Jacobist reign, when extensive state promotion of sportsmanship was used as a propaganda tool by the regime. The extent of this promotion has greatly declined since the end of the Jacobistism, but some remains in secondary education, where most schools form one or several classes (''clases sport'') with emphasis on sport to compete in regional championships.<br>

Lysandus maintains an extensive military, divided into the ''[[Lysandean Army|Armée Royal]]'' (Army), ''[[Lysandean Navy|Flotta]]'' (Navy), and ''[[Armée de l'Air]]'' (Air Force). Beyond these, there are also two independent arms of service: the [[Lysandean Aerospace Control Project]] and the [[Central Rocket Command]]. There is mandated conscription for men between the ages of 18 and 30, with a conscription term of four years. Officially, in 2008, the Lysandean government is spending around $220 billion (some 7% of the Lysandean [[Wikipedia:Gross domestic product|Gross Domestic Product]]) on the military, although the actual number is believed to be substantially higher.

The King is formal commander-in-chief of the Lysandean military, but practically the ''High Military Commission'' ultimately commands the military, consisting of the ''High Lord Commander'' of each of the branches of the Lysandean armed forces. Additionally, the [[War Ministry]] has a role in maintaining communication between the High Military Commission and the Apparatus at large.

* Like most countries, Lysandus uses [[wikipedia:infix notation|infix notation]]. Use of the [[wikipedia:Long and short scales|long scale]] was once frequent, but is now discouraged in favor of either [[wikipedia:Engineering notation|engineering notation]] or its prefixes.

* The [[wikipedia:comma|comma]] (,) is used as decimal separator, while a point (.) is used between every group of three digits. In addition, the currency symbol (ly$) is put after the number, with one space in between. Thus, ly$42,395.25 would be written 42.395,25 ly$ in Lysandus.

* Dates are written in the day-month-year order, with ordinary numerals for days and years and Ascesian numerals for months, and the point (.) as a separator. Thus, 22 September 2010 would be written 22.IX.2010.
