Flag of Leppikania

The Democratic States of Leppikania is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nick with a fair hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.23 billion Leppiks hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Epissiac. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Leppikanian economy, worth 149 trillion Stars a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,153 Stars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy. Crime is well under control. Leppikania's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.
