The United coenfederates of Lukivia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mikael Van Lakhiv with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.184 billion Lukivians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mevra-ssio. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Lukivianic economy, worth 321 trillion Quintals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,318 Quintals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 497,756 per year while the poor average 32,248, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.
It takes at least three to tango, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, indigenous tribal elders can be recognised by their designer watches and expensive suits, and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lukivia's national animal is the White bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Lukivia is ranked 97,215th in the world and 26th in Alcris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,950 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
