The Holy Empire of Leviathan Union is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 995 million Leviathan Unionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hobbstater. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Leviathan Unionian economy, worth 124 trillion levs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 125,101 levs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 697,442 per year while the poor average 11,203, a ratio of 62.3 to 1.

Research into 'designer babies' is banned, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and citizens can freely debate whether Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leviathan Union's national animal is the leviathan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Leviathan Union is ranked 289,310^th in the world and 150^th in KAISERREICH for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -37.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
