The Republic of Lepreconia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Jurgens with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.268 billion Lepreconians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jurgentown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lepreconian economy, worth 251 trillion Lepreconian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 198,423 Lepreconian Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,802,598 per year while the poor average 2,514, a ratio of 716 to 1.

Young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, the nation's arms dealers guarantee discretion and untraceable transactions, priests are being drafted by the church load, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lepreconia's national animal is the Giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Evangelical Protestantism.

Lepreconia is ranked 309,455^th in the world and 112^th in Der Leibwache for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -14.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
