The Allied Ward Soviets of Lafleure is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Peter Locklear with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.771 billion Lafleurians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fondren. The average income tax rate is 33.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lafleurean economy, worth 728 trillion Jacks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,871 Jacks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and the nation refuses to provide international aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lafleure's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lafleure is ranked 88,988^th in the world and 28^th in Tarkin for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,630.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
