The Benevolent Dictatorship of Lepeto is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Dear Leader Darius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.644 billion Lepetans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Persepolis. The average income tax rate is 65.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Lepetoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,420 trillion darics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 164,291 darics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", rare steaks seem even bluer now, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lepeto's national animal is the Mongoose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zoroastrianism.

Lepeto is ranked 96,614th in the world and 3rd in League Of Allied Powers for Most Stationary, with 463.86318923848 days.
