The Federal Republic of Lestov is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 118 million Lestovians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The all-consuming Lestovian economy, worth 11.1 trillion Levstiv Rubbles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,869 Levstiv Rubbles, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Lestov's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lestov is ranked 268,524^th in the world and 394^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -8.94 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
