The Serene Federal Commonwealth of Luso is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Grand-Consul with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.584 billion Lusonis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Patreaux Federal District. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lusoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,701 trillion Roundels a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,365 Roundels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luso's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Malkbaconne.

Luso is ranked 2,615th in the world and 2nd in International Northwestern Union for Safest, scoring 142.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
