The Unitary Republic of Letskia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Jacob Henderson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.004 billion Letskians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akhannard. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Letskian economy, worth a remarkable 2,640 trillion rotuns 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 188,532 rotuns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, a flying elephant and Jacob Henderson share the same nickname, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Letskia's national animal is the grey wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Letskia is ranked 1,996^th in the world and 1^st in The Democratika for Lowest Crime Rates, with 144.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
