The Grand Duchy of Lexembourg is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Grand Duchess Adélaïde with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.213 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville Lexembourg. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Gambling.

Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Lexembourg's many privately-owned prisons, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime is a serious problem. Lexembourg's national animal is the panthera leo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Roman Catholicism, and its currency is the franc.

Lexembourg is ranked 215th in Europe and 68,682nd in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 17 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
