The United Socialist States of Lesser Phlebacite is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.814 billion Lesser Phlebaciteans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of itsoorsnoo. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lesser Phlebacitean economy, worth a remarkable 4,675 trillion corvids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 530,504 corvids, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,499,609 per year while the poor average 150,148, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Police officers have nearly cracked a major underage astronomy syndicate, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, and debate rages over whether ground fish guts can be spread on fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesser Phlebacite's national animal is the self-isolating one eyed crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lesser Phlebacite is ranked 1,267^th in the world and 17^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 161.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
