The Federation of LeLanding is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The compassionate, democratic population of 82 million LeLandingians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped LeLandingian economy, worth 3.23 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,336 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the art of conversation has been rediscovered. Crime is totally unknown. LeLanding's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

LeLanding is ranked 120,280^th in the world and 1,572^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,757.21 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
