The Republic of Leghorn is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 243 million Livornesi are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The very strong Livornese economy, worth 17.0 trillion lires a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 69,814 lires, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,455 per year while the poor average 19,335, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Leghorn's national animal is the chicken, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Leghorn is ranked 37,632^nd in the world and 7^th in Comuni for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,396.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
