The Dancing Plagues of Levont is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mysterious man with no medical expertise with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 8.282 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, Defense, and Education. 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 1,945 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 Book Publishing. 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 234,905 Levs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, water fights now end with thousands dead, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and Levontians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live. 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 14,059th in the world and 29th in Karma for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,722.07 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
