The People's Republic of Leidmark is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 392 million Leidmarkians 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, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Börkholm. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Leidmarkian economy, worth 17.2 trillion Kruunus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 43,921 Kruunus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
More sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leidmark's national animal is the Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Leidmark is ranked 60,272nd in the world and 1,806th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
