The Federal Republic of Lenisk is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 40 million Leniskians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The strong Leniskian economy, worth 2.34 trillion Kryts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 58,566 Kryts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,248 per year while the poor average 16,207, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Clumsy self-injury is a viable claim in modern compensation culture, the fattest folk in Lenisk look to be the happiest ones, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lenisk's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lenisk is ranked 185,037^th in the world and 220^th in Astoria for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.38 kickbacks per hour.
