The Throngist Republic of Lesva is a massive, genial nation, ruled by First Secretary Inca and Chairman Pova with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.36 billion Lesvans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saela. The average income tax rate is 25.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lesvan economy, worth 93.3 trillion Leses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 68,611 Leses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is under the thumb of countless special interests, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin. Crime is well under control. Lesva's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ideology of Throngism.

Lesva is ranked 59,141^st in the world and 101^st in The Western Isles for Most Beautiful Environments, with 611.43 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
