The Kingdom of Luconovos is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 621 million Luconovosians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luconovos City. The average income tax rate is 43.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Luconovosian economy, worth 64.7 trillion Luconovosian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 104,222 Luconovosian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Notable individuals are granted land and titles, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luconovos's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Luconovos is ranked 99,369th in the world and 2,220th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,574.69 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
