The Confederacy of Lushiania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Council Of the Sextilia with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, national health service, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.901 billion Lushianians 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 Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lushianian economy, worth 972 trillion Flaqranis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 198,519 Flaqranis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, maintaining economic growth is no laughing matter, old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lushiania's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lushiania is ranked 129,554^th in the world and 315^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 838.12 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
