The Republic of Lestopia is a large, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 103 million Lestopians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The Lestopian economy, worth 5.64 trillion Lestias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 54,744 Lestias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime is almost non-existent. Lestopia's national animal is the Dugong, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lestopia is ranked 122,383^rd in the world and 32^nd in Tarkin for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,436.96 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
