The Dancing Plagues of Levont is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mysterious man with no medical expertise with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 8.375 billion Levontians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dance Floor. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Levontian economy, worth a remarkable 1,973 trillion Levs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 235,640 Levs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage, the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Levont' is a smash hit, the justice of Levont is considered superior to that of other nations, and jailbreaking is the best-selling book category of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Levont's national animal is the Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hellenic.

Levont is ranked 47,871st in the world and 32nd in Karma for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,190.72 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
