The Free Land of Leore is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by LOG Councilmembers with an even hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, state-planned economy, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 2.963 billion Leorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Leorse economy, worth 159 trillion kodas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 53,734 kodas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

School football matches are usually five-a-side, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, the tragedy of the commons is being tested nationwide but everyone says it's somebody else's problem, and politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leore's national animal is the sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Leorse.

Leore is ranked 93,462^nd in the world and 1,033^rd in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 63.1 on the Human Development Index.
