The Action Game of Left For Dead is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Valve with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.042 billion Left For Deadians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 500. The average income tax rate is 34.7%.

The thriving Left For Deadian economy, worth 176 trillion 17 November 2008s a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,121 17 November 2008s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven, every workday begins with group therapy, the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, and people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Left For Dead's national animal is the Valve, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Co-op FPS.

Left For Dead is ranked 29,875^th in the world and 4^th in Steam for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 4,574.87 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
