The Lithium of Li is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.676 billion Lians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lian economy, worth a remarkable 2,114 trillion Powers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 144,074 Powers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Li's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Li is ranked 147,808^th in the world and 5,946^th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 60.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
