The Watch how I Soar Nation of A Leaf on the Wind is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ephraim Barnes with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.445 billion BrownCoats enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serenity. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Leaf on the Windian economy, worth 534 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,693 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Leaf on the Wind's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mirandaism.

A Leaf on the Wind is ranked 110,370th in the world and 5,671st in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,053.13 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
