The Social Democratic Paradise of Leocalia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lucas Gabriel Rodney with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, feral children, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 3.545 billion Leocalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salomane. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Leocalian economy, worth 272 trillion Swords a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,823 Swords, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nothing in life is promised except death and government support, open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, only lightning has a chance of striking Prime Minister Lucas Gabriel Rodney twice, and Prime Minister Lucas Gabriel Rodney's perky ego is the talk of the town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leocalia's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Leocalia is ranked 264,451st in the world and 305th in Christians for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
