The Empire of Litchenstienen is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alola Rondle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.317 billion Litchenstienenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stadt der Lieder. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Litchenstienenian economy, worth an astonishing 11,176 trillion Nuyens 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. 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 a breathtaking 780,621 Nuyens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, the most popular household pet in Litchenstienen is the domestic minor, disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, and tabloids coo over Alola Rondle's expected child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Litchenstienen's national animal is the Palm Top Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Litchenstienen is ranked 29,275th in the world and 1,178th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,726.58 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
