The Federal Republic of Lukasovia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Secretary with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, aversion to nipples, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.533 billion Lukasovians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lukasov. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Lukasovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,060 trillion Korunas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 164,438 Korunas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,484,708 per year while the poor average 2,207, a ratio of 672 to 1.

Concerned environmentalists wipe away their tears with tissues sourced from Tasmanian old-growth redwoods, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, anti-riot police are dispatched whenever two elderly ladies gather to complain that prices have increased, and businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lukasovia's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Evangelical Lutheran Church of Lukasovia.

Lukasovia is ranked 16,721st in the world and 1st in APSIA for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,445.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
