The Most Serene Republic of Lesser Stronglingz is a massive, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.081 billion Lesser Stronglingzians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The strong Lesser Stronglingzian economy, worth 36.1 trillion estrogens a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 33,431 estrogens, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Leader isn't a national brand, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, companies are turning to trained Double-Headed Eagles for their most menial jobs, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Lesser Stronglingz in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Lesser Stronglingz's national animal is the Double-Headed Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Lesser Stronglingz is ranked 250,864^th in the world and 5,387^th in eta for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90.58 percentage of bribes refused.
