The Commonwealth of Upper Lenrinicia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 666 million Lenrinicians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunden. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Upper Lenrinician economy, worth 66.0 trillion doubloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is 99,063 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, a the South Pacific Tourist Association survey has rated Upper Lenrinicia #1 for number twos, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, and burglars are known for taking cash, socks, and other valuables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Lenrinicia's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Upper Lenrinicia is ranked 3,687^th in the world and 376^th in the South Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 18,131 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
