The Commonwealth of Lesvo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.893 billion Lesvians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sappho. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lesvian economy, worth 131 trillion marks 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 69,321 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, theatre audiences often need a telescope to see the stage, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, and entomologists flock to Sappho for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesvo's national animal is the kestrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lesvo is ranked 12,271^st in the world and 52^nd in The Frontier Sea for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 60.52 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
