The Texas Chain Saw Massacre of Leatherface is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Leatherface with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.441 billion victims are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Public Transport, Social Policy, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newt. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The very strong victim economy, worth 125 trillion teeth a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 86,931 teeth, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 788,673 per year while the poor average 1,115, a ratio of 706 to 1.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, Leatherface's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, gossip magazines have been replaced by mask catalogs, and dandruff and athlete's foot are seen as signs of physical beauty. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Leatherface's national animal is the human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Leatherface is ranked 251,486th in the world and 3,570th in the Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 45.24 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
