The Empire of Lewchewan is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 386 million Lewchewanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hokkaido. The average income tax rate is 30.8%.

The thriving Lewchew economy, worth 28.2 trillion Lewchewan Yuan a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,112 Lewchewan Yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, dogs are encouraged to confront the psychodynamic roots of their desire to be "good boys", baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, and government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Lewchewan's national animal is the Lewchewan Shiba Inu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lewchewan is ranked 93,137^th in the world and 1,806^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,484.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
