The Allied States of Leukkothea is a small, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning Aster population. The hard-working population of 23 million Leukkotheans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.3%.

The very strong Leukkothean economy, worth 1.29 trillion Asters a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 56,291 Asters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 171,958 per year while the poor average 14,282, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Leukkothea's national animal is the Aster.

Leukkothea is ranked 129,124^th in the world and 16^th in Asteroid Belt for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,455.32 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
