The Nation of Leiustedec is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Linus Uiberreither with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.634 billion Leiustedecians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nikia. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Leiustedecian economy, worth a remarkable 1,080 trillion Leiustedec dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 191,851 Leiustedec dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, a government program is underway to revitalize Leiustedec's beaches, and being dead no longer has any benefits. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Leiustedec's national animal is the South western bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The northern Star.

Leiustedec is ranked 7,436^th in the world and 1^st in The Region of Warsaw for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 10,683.54 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
