The Protectorate of Fallen Leaves is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.501 billion Fallen Leaves 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 8.4%.

The strong Fallen Leaf economy, worth 97.5 trillion leaves a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 64,982 leaves, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Fallen Leaves's national animal is the great big leaf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fallen Leaves is ranked 17,879^th in the world and 1^st in BikiniBottom for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,802.41 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
