The Democratic Republic of Letrezu is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 693 million Letrezuans, 456 million of whom are zombies, have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Letrezuan economy, worth 28.7 trillion kmaxas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,395 kmaxas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, getting a haircut is a punishable offence, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and bicyclists are banned from major roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Letrezu's national animal is the Cube, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Letrezu is ranked 225,850^th in the world and 348^th in Starlight for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 607.61 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
