The Most Serene Republic of Lestropica is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 291 million Lestropicans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lestropican economy, worth 10.9 trillion Lestropican Yen 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 37,456 Lestropican Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, it's all white elephants on parade, and Leader's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lestropica's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lestropica is ranked 79,591^st in the world and 404^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,254.33 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
