The Grand Duchy of Litwava is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Master Chen with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.564 billion Litwavans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chen's Island. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.6%.

The thriving Litwavan economy, worth 246 trillion Ryokus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 95,965 Ryokus, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Nations across the world are quick to praise Master Chen's good looks and intellectual prowess, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, and politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Litwava's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chenism.

Litwava is ranked 75,043^rd in the world and 236^th in Concord for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 128.04 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
