The Republic of Lustenneria is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Jorro Iniesta with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.035 billion Lustennerians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lustenville. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lustennerian economy, worth 397 trillion Lusten Dollars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,611 Lusten Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, the past is set in stone, the atmosphere in Lustennerian boardrooms is turning more gay, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lustenneria's national animal is the Hyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Hand of Lusten.

Lustenneria is ranked 19,194^th in the world and 963^rd in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 23.07 average smiles per day.
