The Commonwealth of Upper Lenrinicia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 988 million Lenrinicians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunden. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Lenrinician economy, worth 107 trillion doubloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 108,318 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Upper Lenrinician police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, doomscrolling is all the rage amongst the nation's teenagers, the nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Lenrinicia's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Upper Lenrinicia is ranked 15,915th in the world and 362nd in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 88.02 on the Human Development Index.
