The Federation of Leht is a very large, safe nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 307 million Lehtuans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.8%.

The strong Lehtian economy, worth 18.1 trillion Lehtuan Stamps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 59,111 Lehtuan Stamps, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,094 per year while the poor average 4,386, a ratio of 81.4 to 1.

The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Lehtian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, Leader's relatives have been married into the royal families of foreign nations against their will, and families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leht's national animal is the Lehtuan Deer.

Leht is ranked 243,992^nd in the world and 9,550^th in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 86.35 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
