The Pirate Captain of Henri Levasseur is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Henri Levasseur with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 5.866 billion Henri Levasseurs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertalia. The average income tax rate is 32.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Henri Levasseurian economy, worth 287 trillion Livre tournois 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. 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 49,078 Livre tournois, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Henri Levasseur, citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, the only way to escape lengthy prison terms is in a body bag, and those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Henri Levasseur's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Freedom.

Henri Levasseur is ranked 92,444^th in the world and 6^th in Republic of Pirates for Highest Poor Incomes, with 32,998.25 Standard Monetary Units.
