The United Socialist Republics of Leouschburgh is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Vladimir Konstantinovich Bezobrazov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical population of 14.929 billion Leouschburghians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoffstadt. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Leouschburghian economy, worth a remarkable 2,031 trillion Leouschburghian Marks 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 136,089 Leouschburghian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops, the government forces Leouschburghians to eat their vegetables, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, and the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leouschburgh's national animal is the Leouschburghian Water Rail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Not Applicable.

Leouschburgh is ranked 2,955^th in the world and 20^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,111.36 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
