The Free Land of Leore is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by LOG Councilmembers with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, devout population of 2.699 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, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Leorse economy, worth 134 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,659 kodas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Every workday begins with group therapy, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, and Leore's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. 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 13,134^th in the world and 276^th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 101 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
