The Republic of Lukeim is a massive, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.305 billion Lukeimians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Layvero. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Lukeimian economy, worth 48.0 trillion Lukis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,746 Lukis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lukeim's national animal is the Armadillo girdled lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lukeim is ranked 88,925^th in the world and 191^st in Starlight for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.6 percentage of bribes refused.
