The Standing Peoples of Lergland is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leggy Lemonadus with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.763 billion Lergs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leggington. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lerglish economy, worth 959 trillion legs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 98,322 legs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, and Leggy Lemonadus is too busy listening to praise to get any work done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lergland's national animal is the daddy long leg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lergland is ranked 220,418^th in the world and 1^st in Chillaxia for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,057.56 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
