The Democratic Republic of Republic of Luce is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Light Mailawan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.283 billion Luceans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ilustrado. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lucean economy, worth 142 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,760 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, and camo-patterned plush comfort blankets are standard issue for commandos. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Luce's national animal is the Tamaraw, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Republic of Luce is ranked 127,114^th in the world and 612^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Drug Use, scoring 128.03 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
