The Federation of Litez is a very large, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 158 million Litezians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Litezian economy, worth 7.61 trillion Litzes a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,175 Litzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs, medical lawsuits are out of control, artists are pillars of society, and candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Litez's national animal is the kool thing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Litez is ranked 79,864^th in the world and 2,119^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,657.09 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
