The Protectorate of Looker is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.64 billion Lookerians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.8%.

The powerhouse Lookerian economy, worth 127 trillion francs a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 77,909 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 248,592 per year while the poor average 18,562, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

A driving license is obtained not by passing a test but by passing a brown envelope, army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and the government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Looker's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Looker is ranked 169,947^th in the world and 1,585^th in Herta Space Station for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 57.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
