The Democratic Republic of Lucaasasia is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.802 billion Lucaasasians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.5%.

The strong Lucaasasian economy, worth 513 trillion comrades a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 75,433 comrades, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers, citizens can freely debate whether Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader, politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, and cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lucaasasia's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Lucaasasia is ranked 58,381^st in the world and 587^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,365.46 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
