The United Socialist States of Leftissimo is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning hawk population. The hard-working population of 6.831 billion Leftissimoans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The very strong Leftissimoan economy, worth 371 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 54,367 rubledollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 166,081 per year while the poor average 13,794, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Leftissimo's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Leftissimo is ranked 127,432^nd in the world and 1^st in Greater hanguardian islands for Largest Black Market, with 1.58 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
