Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Socialist People's Republic of Lezaseia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman Leopold III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.732 billion Lezaseians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Socialist City Of Lenberg. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lezaseian economy, worth 340 trillion Holy Christ Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 124,490 Holy Christ Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can tell when Lezaseians are being snarky by the fact their lips are moving, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, and the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lezaseia's national animal is the The Eagle Of The Hammer and Sickle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lezaseian Orthodoxy.

Lezaseia is ranked 19,365^th in the world and 759^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.38 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
