The Democratic Republic of United Eina Lytha is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.19 billion United Eina Lythans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.5%.

The frighteningly efficient United Eina Lythan economy, worth 177 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 148,991 bitcoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,348,996 per year while the poor average 1,949, a ratio of 692 to 1.

Throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, certain national parks offer tanning beds because the visitors never go outside, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. United Eina Lytha's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

United Eina Lytha is ranked 281,660^th in the world and 4,993^rd in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -196.65 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
