The Federation of Letargia is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.698 billion Letargians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snail City. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Letargian economy, worth 305 trillion Pillows a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,586 Pillows, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The elderly don't know who the dickens adorns the face of newly-issued banknotes, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, the government seizes all major gold finds, and the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Letargia's national animal is the Snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Letargia is ranked 206,120^th in the world and 182^nd in Refugia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -2.19 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
