The Most Serene Republic of Le Zen is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its enforced nudity and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 23.731 billion Le Zenians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 28.8%.

The Le Zenian economy, worth 777 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,771 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, there are no minimum wage laws, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Le Zen's national animal is the owl.

Le Zen is ranked 176,236^th in the world and 1^st in areas of castle for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 881.06 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
