The Democratic Republic of Letrezu is a very large, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cynical population of 498 million Letrezuans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Letrezuan economy, worth 20.6 trillion kmaxas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,395 kmaxas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, getting a haircut is a punishable offence, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and bicyclists are banned from major roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Letrezu's national animal is the Cube, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Letrezu is ranked 211,711^th in the world and 304^th in Starlight for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,415.11 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
