The Federal Republic of Lesinteil is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Finrod Felagund with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.558 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 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Lesinteil economy, worth 406 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,748 Letaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being Finrod Felagund has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, torture is illegal, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. 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 177,424^th in the world and 6,636^th in the South Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring -73.33 on the Rand Index.
