The Democratic Republic of Leasaths is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 784 million Leasathians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.4%.
The strong Leasathsian economy, worth 51.8 trillion Leasathian savoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 66,068 Leasathian savoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, there is a disproportionate number of poor people in prison, Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, and competing private ambulances racing to be the first to traffic accidents are a major cause of road accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leasaths's national animal is the Northern Leasathian eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Leasaths is ranked 132,170th in the world and 6,431st in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 780.83 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
