The Federation of Letargia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.614 billion Letargians 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 Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snail City. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Letargian economy, worth 305 trillion Pillows a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,447 Pillows, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The elderly don't know who the dickens adorns the face of newly-issued banknotes, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, the government seizes all major gold finds, and the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Letargia's national animal is the Snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Letargia is ranked 34,956th in the world and 145th in Refugia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,767.41 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
