The Kingdom of Leadorite is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leadman with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.267 billion Lead Miners are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Leadmine. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Leadoritean economy, worth a remarkable 5,525 trillion Leads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 286,772 Leads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, oddly simian-looking religious thugs beat up anyone who suggests humans are related to monkeys, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, and atheists on vacation find Lead poisoning's scriptures make useful doorstops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leadorite's national animal is the Leadworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lead poisoning.

Leadorite is ranked 153,953rd in the world and 2,714th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 147.74902349612 days.
