The Perfect Copy of Lezzie 40 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lezzie 40 with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.317 billion Lesbians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lesbos. The average income tax rate is 49.8%.

The large but inefficient Lesbian economy, worth 195 trillion minutes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 58,867 minutes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The teaching of evolution has been banned, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, it's considered a valid legal defence to say "a demon made me do it", and police wait behind troop deployments in order to shoot deserters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lezzie 40's national animal is the vampire bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Worship of Poppy.

Lezzie 40 is ranked 43,343rd in the world and 19th in Lezzie for Most Beautiful Environments, with 723.71 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
