The Constitutional Monarchy of Leighty Engineering Co is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dariana Lucretia with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 28.19 billion Phoenicians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt individuals juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saphira. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Phoenician economy, worth a remarkable 8,560 trillion LEC Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 303,663 LEC Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Religion makes people horny, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, and fruit market traders let their stock spoil rather than reduce their prices at the day's end. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Leighty Engineering Co's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Libertarianism.

Leighty Engineering Co is ranked 174^th in the world and 1^st in Jowlagiri for Highest Crime Rates, with 133.73 crimes per hour.
