The Community of Lusitano is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, disturbing lack of elderly people, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.44 billion Lusitanoans 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 19.2%.

The very strong Lusitanoan economy, worth 137 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 56,375 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, and a major religion has been named as Lusitano's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Lusitano's national animal is the Lusitano, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lusitano is ranked 128,619^th in the world and 49^th in Safari for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 835.99 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
