The Republic of Lesbia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Marc Cummings with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 26.65 billion Lesbians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lesbia City. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lesbian economy, worth a remarkable 4,913 trillion Lesbian dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,365 Lesbian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New urban roads are threatening city parks, curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, and double-parking is on the rise as automobile numbers increase. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesbia's national animal is the Les, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is unofficially Christianity.

Lesbia is ranked 14,519^th in the world and 28^th in Thaecia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 334.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
