The Federal Republic of Lev Ao is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Duke Luke with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.261 billion Levaons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Levon. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Levaon economy, worth 527 trillion Foxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 161,734 Foxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Much of Lev Ao's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, government policy is dictated by Crimson, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and ordinary soldiers trade rumors about the top secret "Death From Above" project. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lev Ao's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Crimson.

Lev Ao is ranked 7,282^nd in the world and 24^th in the Outback for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 14,094.87 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
