The Military Totalitarian Regime of Leopand is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Führer Volkodav with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.552 billion Leopandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shebanstania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Leopandian economy, worth 209 trillion Bloodcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 134,668 Bloodcoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 900,930 per year while the poor average 7,593, a ratio of 118 to 1.

The government has completely eliminated all childcare programs, modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days, the state has declared war on the environment and environmentalists by association, and teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Leopand's national animal is the Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Volkodavism.

Leopand is ranked 184,676th in the world and 104th in Hell for Most Developed, scoring 53.25 on the Human Development Index.
