The Commonwealth of Upper Lenrinicia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Minister with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.19 billion Lenrinicians 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 Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunden. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Lenrinician economy, worth 132 trillion doubloons 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,018 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, television executives are interested in turning First Minister's zany home life into a sitcom, and theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Lenrinicia's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Holy Family.

Upper Lenrinicia is ranked 59,265^th in the world and 1,211^th in the South Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.7 percentage of bribes refused.
