The Free Land of Leore is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by LOG Councilmembers with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, national health service, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, devout population of 3.202 billion Leorans 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, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Leorse economy, worth 179 trillion kodas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 55,971 kodas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

School guidance counselors recommend monastic vows as an alternative to higher education, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, and the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leore's national animal is the sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Leorse.

Leore is ranked 31,613^th in the world and 514^th in The East Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 54.98 quips per hour.
