The Benevolent Absolutism of Letrosis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.058 billion Realists are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eleftheria. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Letrosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,263 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,350 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and home renovation projects take decades to complete. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Letrosis's national animal is the rhino, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Letrosis is ranked 172,908th in the world and 214th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
