The People's Republic of Leidmark is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.518 billion Leidmarkians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Börkholm. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Leidmarkian economy, worth 68.6 trillion Kruunus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 45,170 Kruunus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People have become comfortably numb, artists are pillars of society, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leidmark's national animal is the Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Leidmark is ranked 217,115th in the world and 4,107th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 556.28 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
