The Federal Republic of Lesinteil is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Finrod Felagund with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.311 billion Lesinteilians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Indrawel. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lesinteil economy, worth 158 trillion Letaras 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 120,996 Letaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Indrawel Times is sold out. Crime is totally unknown. Lesinteil's national animal is the Koala Beer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Valinoraism.

Lesinteil is ranked 9,650^th in the world and 295^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 96,649.92 Standard Monetary Units.
