The Last Bastion of Civilization of Lacuna is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 25.135 billion Lacunians 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, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lacuna City. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lacunan economy, worth a remarkable 3,864 trillion Naughts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 153,756 Naughts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royalist is the most offensive slur in the Lacunan language, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is totally unknown. Lacuna's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lacuna is ranked 2,554^th in the world and 93^rd in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 260.47 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
