The Federation of -Leppavirta- is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.033 billion -Leppavirta-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.4%.

The frighteningly efficient -Leppavirta-ian economy, worth 629 trillion gambles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,057 gambles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 458,849 per year while the poor average 24,126, a ratio of 19.0 to 1.

No suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, lending firms are subject to strict government regulations, supervisors in -Leppavirta- commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Leppavirta-'s national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Leppavirta- is ranked 284,976^th in the world and 233^rd in Municipalities of Finland for Most Cultured, scoring 55 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
