The Planet of Leut is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.183 billion Leutians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.7%.

The all-consuming Leutian economy, worth 210 trillion Efforts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 96,426 Efforts, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, and scientists take credit every time it rains in Firmament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leut's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Leut is ranked 83,981^st in the world and 4^th in Firmament for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,569.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
