The Kingdom of Literian is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Skydon with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.487 billion Literians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of D'Amare. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Literianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,562 trillion Armonds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 184,150 Armonds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime is totally unknown. Literian's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Literian is ranked 13,385^th in the world and 834^th in Lazarus for Most Secular, with 87.79 Atheism Rate.
