The Empire of Litchenstienen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Alola Rondle with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.353 billion Litchenstienenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stadt der Lieder. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Litchenstienenian economy, worth an astonishing 11,228 trillion Nuyens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 782,329 Nuyens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Litchenstienen after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and people think "siege mentality" is a positive trait. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Litchenstienen's national animal is the Palm Top Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Litchenstienen is ranked 267,324^th in the world and 10,155^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.72 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
