In Lenapore, Mediacorp, unlike IRL, is entirely private. There is a state-run broadcaster, LPBS (in my canon it was created following the division of the LBC into TCL and RCL in 1994). There is also the Local Media Association. The LMA stations are independent from Mediacorp and LPBS and have programming limited to local affairs and syndicated programming. Some stations broadcast in languages that aren't native to Lenapore, like Tagalog or Korean.

There are six official languages: Malay, English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese and Tamil. The Japanese language is primarily spoken by people who have ancestors in Ishigaki (more so than Orience). There are two telecommunications companies: Starhub and Lentel. Starhub and Lentel also operate satellite services (unlike IRL) to reach the entire country.

Lenapore unlike IRL is larger, and consists of two islands, total population of about 25 million. About 9 million or so live in the Lenapore City state where the capital is located. The rest is mainly sparsely-populated. Other notable states include Kawayama and Hamanashi, populated mainly by ethnic Oriencians, Ishigakians and Kaizhungese.
