The Hermit Kingdom of Lekamen is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Madam President Yun-jin with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The humorless population of 3.302 billion Lekans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongyang. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lekamenian economy, worth 428 trillion Lekan Rubis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,875 Lekan Rubis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lekamen's national animal is the White Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lekan Mythology.

Lekamen is ranked 144,846th in the world and 770th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,883.81 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
