The Free Land of Lexoptia is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 410 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Equality, although the Environment and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, archaeological discoveries are often followed by mysterious hamster abductions, and national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys'. Crime is relatively low. Lexoptia's national animal is the Ball Python, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Dollar.

Lexoptia is ranked 5th in Sinatia and 89,449th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 12 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
