The Republic of Light54 is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate population of 5.399 billion Light54ians are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Light54ian economy, worth 438 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,202 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, swans are considered a delicacy, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Light54's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Light54 is ranked 221,471^st in the world and 16^th in Regency Puppets for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
