The Democratic Republic of Leckenby is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Arsene Wenger with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 41.971 billion Leckenbyians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arjen. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Leckenbyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,859 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 115,792 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the suicide rate mysteriously skyrockets during census years, chickens frolic freely on swings and roundabouts in Arjen's playgrounds, and advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leckenby's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is atheism.

Leckenby is ranked 12,084th in the world and 1st in Emirates for Most Stationary, with 2,067.00234378432 days.
