The Democratic Republic of Lekhia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 719 million Lekhs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shylyhorod. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lekh economy, worth 28.1 trillion Koryvnas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 39,092 Koryvnas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across Lekhia are blocked up with orders for new public loos, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, and some paycheques only arrive every 12 to 24 weeks. Crime is totally unknown. Lekhia's national animal is the Buffalo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lekhia is ranked 261,165^th in the world and 254^th in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,666.11 Standard Monetary Units.
