The Democratic Republic of Leckenby is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Arsene Wenger with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 42.213 billion Leckenbyians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arjen. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Leckenbyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,914 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,421 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime Minister Arsene Wenger reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and corrupt paupers spend taxpayer Euros on liquor and tobacco. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leckenby's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is atheism.

Leckenby is ranked 10,127^th in the world and 1^st in Emirates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 55.21 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
