The Republic of Liechstienhaus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Braethan Redus with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.621 billion Liechstienhausians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arstotzka. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Liechstienhausian economy, worth a remarkable 2,141 trillion Black Pesetas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,235 Black Pesetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, most pop videos prominently feature the Liechstienhausian flag, women across the country are tying the knot, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liechstienhaus's national animal is the Sideburned-Flank Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Liechstienhausianism.

Liechstienhaus is ranked 3,966^th in the world and 1^st in The Europa Union for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 15,576.49 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
