The Constitutional Federation of Listael is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Federal Prime Minister Vigel with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.456 billion Listaelians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Listaelica. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Listaelic economy, worth 600 trillion Listaelic шekels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 109,949 Listaelic шekels, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 366,635 per year while the poor average 24,547, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Air purifiers fight smoke machines on Listaelic stage setups, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, babies are increasingly seen as a luxury, and there is a law against "filthy foreign food". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Listael's national animal is the penguin tetra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Listaelic Baptist Church.

Listael is ranked 48,231^st in the world and 2^nd in Hailstone for Most Developed, scoring 77.97 on the Human Development Index.
