The Democratic States of Zhao Leji is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working population of 4.941 billion Zhao Lejians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 19.4%.

The strong Zhao Lejian economy, worth 255 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 51,670 Delta Eagles, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, birth rates have hit an all-time low, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Zhao Leji City Natural History Museum, and students do more community service than homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhao Leji's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zhao Leji is ranked 71,936^th in the world and 1^st in Haibane Renmei for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,138.63 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
