The Free Land of Leore is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by LOG Councilmembers with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, devout population of 3.089 billion Leorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Leorse economy, worth 167 trillion kodas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 54,379 kodas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Biology and religious education classes have recently been merged, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leore's national animal is the sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Leorse.

Leore is ranked 12,714th in the world and 259th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 85.16 Effective Tax Rate.
