The Republic of LucasValley is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 565 million LucasValleyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucarest. The average income tax rate is 43.5%.

The frighteningly efficient LucasValleyian economy, worth 57.6 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,026 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in LucasValley to be bombproof, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LucasValley's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

LucasValley is ranked 39,717^th in the world and 21^st in Audinesca for Highest Food Quality, scoring 41.53 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
