The United Cromwell Republic of A Lee Project is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The devout population of 40.543 billion Cromions 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birchwood Brosseau. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cromwellion economy, worth a remarkable 2,655 trillion Cromwell$s a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,508 Cromwell$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, cops in Birchwood Brosseau spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Lee Project's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A Lee Project is ranked 219,220^th in the world and 271^st in 10000 Islands for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.23 percentage of bribes refused.
