The Kingdom of Literian is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Skydon with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.17 billion Literians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of D'Amare. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Literianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,294 trillion Armonds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,487 Armonds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, and hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region. Crime is totally unknown. Literian's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Literian is ranked 10,458^th in the world and 588^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 117 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
