The Imperium of Leonism is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Imperator Konsul Leo I with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.892 billion Imperials are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leestcheck. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient imperial economy, worth a remarkable 5,424 trillion Imperialmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 303,171 Imperialmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents, environmental legislation occurs cyclically, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leonism's national animal is the Blaumeise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Leonism is ranked 348^th in the world and 13^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 200.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
