The Christian Realm of Letitflood is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by President Jameson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.46 billion Letitfloodians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deluge. The average income tax rate is 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Letitfloodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,639 trillion Letitfloodian pounds a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 300,249 Letitfloodian pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, business is banging at no-tell motels, contracting work is a family-run enterprise, and pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Letitflood's national animal is the Letitfloodian buzzard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Letitflood is ranked 233,558^th in the world and 38^th in Cape of Good Hope for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 158.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
