The State of Leathead is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 17.468 billion Leatheadians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 30.1%.
The Leatheadian economy, worth 925 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 52,970 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, Leathead is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and those who cut young children are told to cut it out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leathead's national animal is the deer.
Leathead is ranked 149,094th in the world and 2nd in Queensland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
