The Democratic Republic of Lekhia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 833 million Lekhs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shylyhorod. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Lekh economy, worth 36.2 trillion Koryvnas 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 Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 43,440 Koryvnas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, some paycheques only arrive every 12 to 24 weeks, and transgender and agender are on the education agenda. Crime is totally unknown. Lekhia's national animal is the Buffalo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lekhia is ranked 182,190^th in the world and 276^th in Refugia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 51.15 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
