The Imperium of Leonism is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Konsul Leo I with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 22.997 billion Imperials are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leestcheck. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient imperial economy, worth a remarkable 7,952 trillion Imperialmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 345,786 Imperialmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Shanty towns have formed around the newly rebuilt commercial district, the atmosphere in imperial boardrooms is turning more gay, the real art was the AI friends we made along the way, and shirts-versus-skins games are now skins-versus-skins games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leonism's national animal is the Blaumeise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Leonism is ranked 75,247^th in the world and 3,755^th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,896.28 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
