The Republic of Light64 is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 5.269 billion Light64ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.5%.

The Light64ian economy, worth 364 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,225 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, every week is blindness awareness week, and there's more than one way to skin a diplomat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Light64's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Light64 is ranked 51,497^th in the world and 9^th in Voidwolf for Largest Governments, scoring 22.38 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
