The Empire of Lionteeth is a large, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 154 million Lionteethians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.4%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lionteethian economy, worth 6.43 trillion lion shingles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,775 lion shingles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Lionteethian military drills look more like joint-Aesica exercises than anything else, the fattest folk in Lionteeth look to be the happiest ones, teenagers are making eye contact with each other for the first time in years, and religious education is a new government priority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lionteeth's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lionteeth is ranked 243,479^th in the world and 200^th in Aesica for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 28.64 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
