The Federal Republic of Lestianica is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 302 million Lestianicans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The powerhouse Lestianican economy, worth 31.0 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 102,573 Florins, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam", escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, wandering Lestianicans are known for their one-track minds, and the tightness of border controls in Lestianica leave a little to be desired. Crime is well under control. Lestianica's national animal is the Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lestianica is ranked 93,610^th in the world and 164^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,990.39 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
