The Dancing Plagues of Levont is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mysterious man with no medical expertise with a fair hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 8.325 billion Levontians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dance Floor. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Levontian economy, worth a remarkable 1,965 trillion Levs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 236,109 Levs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government invades its allies more than its enemies, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Levont, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, and it's often raining men (hallelujah) in The Dance Floor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Levont's national animal is the Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hellenic.

Levont is ranked 23,309th in the world and 59th in Karma for Highest Food Quality, scoring 106.66 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
