The Imperium of Lenehen is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Emperor with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.558 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, organ donation is compulsory, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and Lenehen's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lenehen's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Imperial cult, and its currency is the pound.

Lenehen is ranked 1st in The ACSN and 2,058th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
