The Principality of Lekofopia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 1.277 billion Lekofopians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.9%.

The powerhouse Lekofopian economy, worth 101 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,496 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 239,205 per year while the poor average 20,610, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, and the statue in the Ives Plaza has a solar panel for a hat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lekofopia's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lekofopia is ranked 56,844th in the world and 3,155th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,458.86 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
