The 𝒫𝓊𝓇𝓅𝓁ℯ 𝔇𝔦𝔠𝔱𝔞𝔱𝔬𝔯 of Lethinia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Alisa Sophia of Veré with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.617 billion Lethinis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Villa and Battersea. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lethini economy, worth 255 trillion Lethinian Libras a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,675 Lethinian Libras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "give and take" of international diplomacy often happens at gunpoint, Lethinia's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, only adults may purchase violent video games, and mandatory blunting of cutlery has increased the popularity of soup-based meals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lethinia's national animal is the Praya Dubia aka The Giant Siphonophore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Baselism.

Lethinia is ranked 283,701^st in the world and 145^th in Aspen for Most Primitive, scoring -204.04 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
