The Smoldering Stare of Leonel is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.151 billion Leonelians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The very strong Leonelian economy, worth 267 trillion baht a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,909 baht, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,202 per year while the poor average 9,555, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Leonel's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Leonel is ranked 81,660^th in the world and 2^nd in The Dark Forest for Smartest Citizens, with 38.6 quips per hour.
