The Flying Island of Lehpuhrta is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Highmistress Kelmalakhi with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.225 billion Lehpuhrtans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lehpuhrta Kaglakh. The average income tax rate is 55.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Lehpuhrtan economy, worth 257 trillion khongs a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,793 khongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lehpuhrta's national animal is the Volitant Cuttlefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is the veneration of Sym'yone.

Lehpuhrta is ranked 31,919th in the world and 30th in Caer Sidi for Most Beautiful Environments, with 842.65 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
