The Republic of Leyktenburg is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 642 million Leykters are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lewis L Lehtonen City. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Leykter economy, worth 33.1 trillion Leyktenmarsches a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,626 Leyktenmarsches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Where there's a will there is usually a password manager, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, and choking on Leyktenmarsches is a leading cause of death for wild animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leyktenburg's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Leyktenburg is ranked 190,607^th in the world and 2,811^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 52.9 on the Human Development Index.
