The District of Lits is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by privy council chairman with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.551 billion Litsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong Litsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,143 trillion juno aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 55,651 juno aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 358,679 per year while the poor average 3,488, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Lits has designated District City as its capital city, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and Privy council chairman has just been declared ruler of Lits in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lits's national animal is the quick pink fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lits is ranked 61,924^th in the world and 1^st in Orient for Smartest Citizens, with 40.48 quips per hour.
