The Colony of Leyte Gulf is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.78 billion Leyte Gulfians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.7%.

The Leyte Gulfian economy, worth 192 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,339 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, and meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leyte Gulf's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Leyte Gulf is ranked 295,612^th in the world and 10^th in Portland for Highest Drug Use, scoring 19.89 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
