The Warning About Stairs of 3LiT3 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Karen Peronel with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 7.81 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Levanovo. The average income tax rate is 94%, and even higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the government funds large training centres to turn Chickens into functioning members of society. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 3LiT3's national animal is the Chicken, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Emden.

3LiT3 is ranked 717th in 10000 Islands and 22,535th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 42 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
