The Allied States of Luxcrest is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Morgan Greenwood with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.346 billion Luxcrestians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxor. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luxcrestian economy, worth 266 trillion Luxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 113,653 Luxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", all new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers, the military has gone fission for more funding, and intelligence analysts spend most of their time looking at embarrassing photos on social media sites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luxcrest's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Luxcrest is ranked 26,261^st in the world and 117^th in Europeia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,147.31 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
