The Dominion of Life Support is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 104 million Life Supportians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.6%.

The very strong Life Supportian economy, worth 5.60 trillion Leaveses a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 53,856 Leaveses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 171,878 per year while the poor average 12,827, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime is moderate. Life Support's national animal is the White Rabbit.

Life Support is ranked 221,512^th in the world and 48^th in Audinesca for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.74 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
