The State of LU is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.256 billion LUians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong LUian economy, worth 826 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 45,251 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 307,655 per year while the poor average 2,431, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and LU has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. LU's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

LU is ranked 289,146^th in the world and 360^th in Omega Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 33.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
