The Military Totalitarian Regime of Leopand is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Führer Volkodav with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.677 billion Leopandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shebanstania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Leopandian economy, worth 231 trillion Bloodcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 138,221 Bloodcoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 924,704 per year while the poor average 7,793, a ratio of 118 to 1.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Leopandians make research institutes rich, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, crying babies are told to grow up, and Führer Volkodav's new office has a propensity to catch on fire. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Leopand's national animal is the Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Volkodavism.

Leopand is ranked 330,726th in the world and 182nd in Hell for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -18.31 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
