The Republic of Storm Lettuce is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Idinist population. The hard-working population of 742 million Storm Lettuceans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.2%.

The Storm Lettucean economy, worth 26.4 trillion Idinists a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 35,540 Idinists, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Storm Lettuce's national animal is the Idinist.
