The Commonwealth of Levondia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by First Minister William Stonewell with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 3.318 billion Levondians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rea. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Levondian economy, worth 362 trillion Sovereigns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,347 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, group hugs break out during floor votes, and cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Levondia's national animal is the Stag, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Levondia is ranked 22,338^th in the world and 885^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 263.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
