The United Socialist States of Leonfire is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Alpha Scuti with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.542 billion Leonfireans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pantherax. The average income tax rate is 89.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Leonfirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,229 trillion Bitts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is 79,100 Bitts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leonfire's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Leonfire is ranked 63,990^th in the world and 938^th in The North Pacific for Nudest, with 190.75 cheeks per square mile.
