The Commonwealth of Upper Lenrinicia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by First Minister with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.221 billion Lenrinicians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunden. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Lenrinician economy, worth 137 trillion doubloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 112,031 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting milk from the local corner store no longer requires donning advanced hiking gear, the World Commonwealth Games have been won again by Upper Lenrinicia as no other country cares enough to compete, billions of doubloons are being poured into a space program, and tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Lenrinicia's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Holy Family.

Upper Lenrinicia is ranked 183,246^th in the world and 2,023^rd in the South Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -2 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
