The Emirate of Lithuanian Impire is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Imp Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, vat-grown people, and conspicuous electricity pylons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.27 billion Lithuanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vilnai. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lithuanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,735 trillion worldcons a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 376,330 worldcons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,114,004 per year while the poor average 99,855, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

Property subletting is going underground, the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter, and international terrorists often get their weapons supply in Lithuanian Impire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lithuanian Impire's national animal is the beauty, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Letani.

Lithuanian Impire is ranked 2,816^th in the world and 3^rd in Thaecia for Largest Black Market, with 2,861 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
