The Free Land of Lechigrad is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 178 million Lechigradians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.3%.

The strong Lechigradian economy, worth 13.6 trillion Denars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 76,514 Denars, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Nature finds a way despite the government's best efforts, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, and imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lechigrad's national animal is the Nietoperz, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lechigrad is ranked 223,018^th in the world and 2,882^nd in The North Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
