The Free City of Leszno is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.889 billion Lesznoans 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 Leszno. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lesznoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,151 trillion zloties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 96,867 zloties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Bull Dung" has been declared a national treasure, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, the true length of the coastline of Leszno may never be measured, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leszno's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Leszno is ranked 40,761^st in the world and 503^rd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 174.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
