The Federal Republic of Leistrona is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexander Ivanov Sergeevich with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.4 billion Leistronans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nofronio. The average income tax rate is 39.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Leistronan economy, worth 408 trillion Lorliands a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 170,017 Lorliands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leistrona's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Leistrona is ranked 13,095^th in the world and 280^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 143.38 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
