The Golden Empire of Lehemad is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Visions from the 8th Dimension with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 31.85 billion Lehemen 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanna Mannu. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Leheman economy, worth a remarkable 7,121 trillion IPCS a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 223,584 IPCS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", all new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Sanna Mannu Times is sold out, and the government's policy is 'all pain, no grain'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lehemad's national animal is the Mad Hedgehog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Balanced Universal Logic.

Lehemad is ranked 330,669^th in the world and 1^st in Arcturus Solar System for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 17.39 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
