The Convention Member of Lythusia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Edward Viatyk with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, digital currency, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.76 billion Lythusians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lythuki. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lythusian economy, worth 311 trillion Lyths a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 177,078 Lyths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It's best to say "yes" if the arbiter asks "what are you, a moron?", tumbleweeds are seen blowing through the nation's airspace, neighboring nations are tired of Lythusia's big fish stories, and most political debates are settled with fistfights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lythusia's national animal is the Harpya, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lythusia is ranked 280,799^th in the world and 202^nd in Thaecia for Most Primitive, scoring -350.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
