The Commonwealth of Leviggo is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 332 million Leviggorians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zwammerdam. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Leviggorian economy, worth 17.4 trillion commies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,541 commies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Leviggo, punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, war criminals are given full state funerals, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leviggo's national animal is the alligator snapping turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Leviggo is ranked 140,874th in the world and 996th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 69.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
