The Federation of St Leone is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Grandee Laventinus III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.402 billion Leoneans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nidarsholm. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Leonean economy, worth a remarkable 1,772 trillion Leoneske Krónjas a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,420 Leoneske Krónjas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', entomologists flock to Nidarsholm for its remarkable gadfly population, and Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Leone's national animal is the Asellian Manul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

St Leone is ranked 327,036^th in the world and 196^th in Refugia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 19.02 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
