The Most Serene Republic of Leoria and Portardosa is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 696 million Leória-Portardosans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leória. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.1%.

The very strong Leória-Portardosan economy, worth 55.8 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 80,185 florins, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

One complaint of Leoria and Portardosa's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, research into 'designer babies' is banned, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and basket-weaving is the nation's latest fad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Leoria and Portardosa's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Leoria and Portardosa is ranked 219,439^th in the world and 35^th in Palatine for Largest Populations, with 696 million capita.
