The Republic of Lone Leaf Republic is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Archon with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, devout population of 11.141 billion Lone Leaf Republicians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Social Policy, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aerion. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lone Leaf Republician economy, worth 547 trillion Fennings a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,130 Fennings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Lone Leaf Republic' is a smash hit, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, and the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lone Leaf Republic's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Infrared.

Lone Leaf Republic is ranked 28,126th in the world and 1,804th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,631.91 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
