The Kingdom of Leispa is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Peter II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.285 billion Leispans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holsord. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Leispan economy, worth 247 trillion Saarmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,307 Saarmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, the arms industry is strictly regulated, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leispa's national animal is the Black-and-white Monjita, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Leispa is ranked 7,314th in the world and 12th in Concord for Safest, scoring 125.37 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
