The Democratic Republic of Leoparda is a mid-sized, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 97 million Leopardans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 36.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Leopardan economy, worth 2.92 trillion Blooms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 30,117 Blooms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, judges are all-powerful, doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, and cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leoparda's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Leoparda is ranked 301,263^rd in the world and 4,143^rd in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 49.22 on the Human Development Index.
