The Semi-Presidential Republic of The Lits is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Juozas Kazlauskas with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.629 billion Lithans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vilnius. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Litsian economy, worth 147 trillion Lits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,661 Lits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Retail boutiques encourage citizens to honor their military veterans by purchasing flag-patterned underwear, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, Juozas Kazlauskas's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Vilnius generates millions of views, and replacement organs are grown in vats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Lits's national animal is the Stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The Lits is ranked 53,935th in the world and 2,668th in Balder for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 89.56 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
