The Federal Republic of Lesinteil is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Finrod Felagund with a fair hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.92 billion Lesinteili are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Indrawel. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lesinteil economy, worth 619 trillion Letaras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,145 Letaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime is totally unknown. Lesinteil's national animal is the Koala Beer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Valinoranism.

Lesinteil is ranked 225,077^th in the world and 7,774^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 6,800.26 Standard Monetary Units.
