The United Communities of Legalese is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Director-General with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 34.388 billion Legalites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Social Policy, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Junction. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Legalite economy, worth a remarkable 5,436 trillion Legal Exchange Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 158,086 Legal Exchange Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, the treehouse in Eagle Park is the tallest building in Legalese, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Legalese's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Legalese is ranked 4,313th in the world and 2nd in Anaia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
