The Republic of The Leoust is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Salvatore Foster with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 3.115 billion Leoustians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sawood. The average income tax rate is 35.6%.
The large but underdeveloped Leoustian economy, worth 126 trillion bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 40,747 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and getting a blood transfusion from a Leoustian entitles a foreigner to citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Leoust's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secularism.
The Leoust is ranked 171,761st in the world and 197th in Oneid for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 73,651 Standard Monetary Units.
