Letila is a confederation of anarchist communes. The main ethnic group is Letilan, though small communities of Hispanics and Otaku can be found throughout Letila. The dominate religion of Letila is Nerdism, though Discordianism and Buddhism are also common. The national sport of Letila is Russian Roulette and the national anthem is unestablished, though Imagine and Thesis of a Cruel Angel are the main candidates. The national animal is the luna moth.

Political System

Letila is not a nation in the traditional sense, but a collection of anarchist communes linked by rotating councils. There is thus no true president or monarch as a result. Decision-making varies, depending on the commune, but ranges from concensus to direct democracy and various combinations of them.

There is very little crime, however, because there is no poverty and the psychological environment is very healthy compared to authoritarian states.

Economics

Letilan economics are essentially communist in nature. Money does not exist. Instead, people agree to work for the commune in exchange for their needs being met. Like the government, the economy is without any real hierarchy. There are no rich and poor people, no bosses or workers. The economy is coördinated by federations and rotating councils like the political structure.

The result of all this is a healthy community and no poverty. As a result, Letila has very little crime and very good health overall despite having no government, since healthcare is free in Letila.

History

Letila has been relatively isolationist throughout its history. Since it's beginings after the fall of Terra Pvlchra and its rebirth as Letila, it has always had a strong radical streak and a bitter anger at oppression and destruction. Soon after its founding, Letila went anarchist with little if any bloodshed.

It has occasionally participated in the outside world, favoring communist and anarchist movements and sometime even risking lives to help the oppressed, but for the most part, Letilans aren't very optimistic about the prospects of such ventures as there is so much authoritarianism outside Letila, a fact which tends to strongly reinforce isolationist tendencies.
