The Republic of Leser is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 17.831 billion Leserians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The tiny, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Leserian economy, worth a remarkable 6,664 trillion cashes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 373,769 cashes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Leader is quite hard to get a hold of, mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and the automobile industry is sitting up and taking notice of the new 24 hour race events... as are the track's sleepless neighbours. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Leser's national animal is the byk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Leser is ranked 7,297th in the world and 372nd in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,895.2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
