The Republic of Lesbia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Marc Cummings with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 31.696 billion Lesbians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lesbia City. The average income tax rate is 5.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lesbian economy, worth a remarkable 5,107 trillion Lesbian dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 161,150 Lesbian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes all major gold finds, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in President Marc Cummings's bedroom, and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime is totally unknown. Lesbia's national animal is the Les, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is unofficially Christianity.

Lesbia is ranked 319,839^th in the world and 87^th in Thaecia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -9.49 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
