The Armed Republic of Lepus Virius is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.583 billion Lepus Viriusians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lepus Viriusian economy, worth 167 trillion Shells 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 mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 105,768 Shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

To 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase, there's never enough space in space, convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, and the government spends billions to protect Lepus Virius from a disaster that is one in a million. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lepus Virius's national animal is the Cicada, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lepus Virius is ranked 327,261^st in the world and 1,229^th in Concord for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -12.21 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
