The Republic of Leoparda is a tiny, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8 million Leopardans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 29.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The developing Leopardan economy, worth 265 billion Blooms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 33,134 Blooms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Posing for pictures is an integral part of military training, high school bands practice by moonlight, the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, and three-year-olds have tantrums because they don't want to be drainage technicians when they grow up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leoparda's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Leoparda is ranked 60,616^th in the world and 918^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,273.71 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
