The Federal Republic of Lev Ao is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Duke Luke with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.36 billion Levaons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Levon. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Levaon economy, worth 563 trillion Foxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 167,688 Foxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, and the state conscripts sociopathic orphan girls to train as professional assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lev Ao's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Crimson.

Lev Ao is ranked 9,990^th in the world and 30^th in the Outback for Highest Poor Incomes, with 126,345.38 Standard Monetary Units.
