The Free Land of Leranis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Leran with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 1.346 billion Leranisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lonrea. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,921 Lars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
