The Free Land of Leore is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by LOG Councilmembers with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 3.03 billion Leorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Leorse economy, worth 161 trillion kodas 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 Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 53,349 kodas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Astronomers are flocking to Leore to take advantage of its clear night skies, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, and therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leore's national animal is the sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Leorse.

Leore is ranked 285,950^th in the world and 3,346^th in The East Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,872.72 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
