The Kingdom of Letiutin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Vyan X with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 14.643 billion Letiutinians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dred. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Letiutinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,240 trillion Rodins 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, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 152,994 Rodins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,239,141 per year while the poor average 4,211, a ratio of 294 to 1.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, King Vyan X has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, and citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Letiutin's national animal is the Red-Nosed Reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Indigoism.

Letiutin is ranked 247,683rd in the world and 122nd in Barbaria for Most Primitive, scoring -145.01 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
