The Holy Loush Throne of Loush Catholic Conference is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mater Verhald V with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The hard-working, devout population of 7.72 billion Loushians 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Industry receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Christsent. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The LCTC Papacy economy, worth 442 trillion Tenalzurias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 57,355 Tenalzurias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, the Federal Council of Loush Catholic Conference has been announced as the new Head of State, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary.

Loush Catholic Conference's national animal is the Ashtoshen, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
