The Covenant Commonwealth of Lael Piotr is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Jaxson with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.644 billion Lael Piotrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sancta Petra. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lael Piotrian economy, worth 598 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,219 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, they say that Lael Piotrians made a dessert and called it peace, diplomats expel enough hot air to cause forest fires, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lael Piotr's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lael Piotr is ranked 8,977^th in the world and 15^th in Christians for Highest Poor Incomes, with 131,085.22 Standard Monetary Units.
