The Most Serene Republic of The Leftist Union is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.223 billion Leftist Unionians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.1%.

The strong Leftist Unionian economy, worth 258 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 49,424 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

There's a bright dawn ahead for The Leftist Union, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and imitation is the sincerest form of felony. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Leftist Union's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Leftist Union is ranked 151,068^th in the world and 2^nd in True Leftism for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,491.67 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
