The Empire of Lionteeth is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 32 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.0%.

The sizeable but inefficient Lionteethian economy, worth 1.34 trillion lions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,913 lions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

No-one ever lasts longer than a week on a life support machine, bicyclists are banned from major roads, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lionteeth's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lionteeth is ranked 178,800^th in the world and 149^th in Aesica for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 109.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
