The Republic of Lentiville is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 282 million Lentivilleans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 15.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lentivillean economy, worth 16.2 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 57,505 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, Lentivillean watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lentiville's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lentiville is ranked 242,591^st in the world and 4,014^th in The North Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 41.62 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
