The Confederacy of De Leon River is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The democratic, devout population of 698 million Leonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neowe Columbus. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong De Leon Riverian economy, worth 51.0 trillion Labour Marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,072 Labour Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response, and the nation's infamous rickshaw ambulances often double as hearses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. De Leon River's national animal is the Black-footed ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

De Leon River is ranked 71,466^th in the world and 147^th in The UMNS for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,976.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
