The Federation of Lextovia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Rowan with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.677 billion Lextovians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The average income tax rate is 60.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Lextovian economy, worth a remarkable 3,939 trillion Lexes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 222,849 Lexes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, older AIs regularly threaten to send newer generation AIs to Reform Programming if caught rounding up instead of down, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, and the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lextovia's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is N A.

Lextovia is ranked 35,344th in the world and 74th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
