The Free Land of Leo Fender is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.313 billion Leo Fenderians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The strong Leo Fenderian economy, worth 618 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,480 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 271,338 per year while the poor average 3,746, a ratio of 72.4 to 1.

Heart attacks are regarded as a coming of age ritual, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, a major religion has been named as Leo Fender's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Leo Fender in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Leo Fender's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Leo Fender is ranked 298,354^th in the world and 3^rd in Travelling Wilburys for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
