The Free Land of Lechigrad is a large, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and frequent executions. The hard-working, devout population of 133 million Lechigradians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.0%.

The strong Lechigradian economy, worth 10.1 trillion Denars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,237 Denars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, the Liberal Progressive and Progressive Liberal parties swear that they have totally different ideologies, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, and graffiti artists make up a significant portion of the coal mining population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lechigrad's national animal is the Nietoperz, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lechigrad is ranked 69,540^th in the world and 1,493^rd in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 16.29 average smiles per day.
