The Free Land of Lechigrad is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 50 million Lechigradians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.1%.

The Lechigradian economy, worth 3.33 trillion Denars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 66,659 Denars, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, and the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Lechigradians any less frightened. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lechigrad's national animal is the Nietoperz, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lechigrad is ranked 46,824^th in the world and 1,157^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
