The Commonwealth of Levondia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by First Minister William Stonewell with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.189 billion Levondians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rea. The average income tax rate is 63.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Levondian economy, worth 355 trillion Sovereigns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,628 Sovereigns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, group hugs break out during floor votes, and cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Levondia's national animal is the Stag, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Levondia is ranked 11,752^nd in the world and 518^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 112 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
