The Empire of Leclium is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 32 million Lecliumians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Lecliumian economy, worth 1.43 trillion lecl Rubens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 44,787 lecl Rubens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation is compulsory, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Leclium. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leclium's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Leclium is ranked 48,443^rd in the world and 1,129^th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 103.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
