The Federal Republic of Leistrona is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexander Ivanov Sergeevich with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.366 billion Leistronans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nofronio. The average income tax rate is 41.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Leistronan economy, worth 403 trillion Lorliands a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 170,377 Lorliands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

A long-distance hike gets students geared up for a long day at school, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, and asking a cutie their star sign is always met with withering scorn. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leistrona's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Leistrona is ranked 33,519^th in the world and 456^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,937.65 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
