Location: The League of Leftist Nations

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Droid Republic of Leotov is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Commander D29487 with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 785 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CAPITOL_C2039485. The average income tax rate is 78%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory minature radios, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leotov's national animal is the maintenance droid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the spare part.

Leotov is ranked 8th in The League of Leftist Nations and 80,290th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
