The Commonwealth of Lesvo is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.774 billion Lesvians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sappho. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lesvian economy, worth 123 trillion marks 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 69,675 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and theatre audiences often need a telescope to see the stage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesvo's national animal is the kestrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lesvo is ranked 188,378^th in the world and 697^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 22.09 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
