The Republic of Leantistan is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.946 billion Leantistanians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 18.2%.

The very strong Leantistanian economy, worth 140 trillion Doners a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 72,274 Doners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, Leader has just been declared ruler of Leantistan in an international press conference, economists claim no news is good news, and bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leantistan's national animal is the Barnacle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Leantistan is ranked 164,359^th in the world and 6,286^th in Lazarus for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 356.99 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
