The Truths of Lefty is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lonny Left with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 23.206 billion Leftyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Education, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leftyria. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Leftyian economy, worth 365 trillion Rings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 15,730 Rings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, military funding has been stripped back, Lonny Left has just been declared ruler of Lefty in an international press conference, and Leftism has been named as Lefty's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lefty's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Leftism.

Lefty is ranked 285,661st in the world and 7th in The Land of Communism for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,404.42 Standard Monetary Units.
