The United Republics of Leetmerica (often referred to as the URL, The Leet Islands, or just Leetmerica) is a mixed federal republic^[1] with 50 states^[2], 12 provinces^[3], 5 boroughs^[4], 18 city-states^[5], 10 independent nations^[6], and 1 federal district.^[7] Due to its extremely lax laws, loosely-interpreted constitution, and reluctance to start a war^{[citation needed]}, it has allowed almost any wackjob with a flag and an acre of land into the union. As a result, it has amassed a large amount of land, spread across the globe with a 2.4 billion population (2013 estimate) and 379,467,987 sq mi total area.
