The Republic of Lithara is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 117 million Litharans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 8.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Litharan economy, worth 5.45 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,597 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Torture is illegal, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Lithara, and Lithara's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Lithara's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lithara is ranked 15,961^st in the world and 1^st in clem for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.22 percentage of bribes refused.
