The Languid Outline of Legs Eleven is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Number Eleven with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, disturbing lack of elderly people, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.163 billion Legs Elevenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Legumia. The average income tax rate is 67.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Legs Elevenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,653 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 201,124 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", the "fire department" is often called to remove offensive religious texts, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Kraken Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Legs Eleven's national animal is the Kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Dancing.

Legs Eleven is ranked 281,710th in the world and 2nd in Medio for Nudest, with 39.25 cheeks per square mile.
