The Empire of Lucrina is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Ancile with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 20.965 billion Lucrinans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morningstar. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Lucrinan economy, worth a remarkable 2,781 trillion Denarii a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an impressive 132,679 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Home renovation projects take decades to complete, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lucrina's national animal is the Coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ostara.

Lucrina is ranked 2,125^th in the world and 65^th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 142.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
