The Paperwork Officer of Lucklife is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Santa LL with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 8.816 billion Lucklifeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scymore. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lucklifean economy, worth a remarkable 1,877 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 212,958 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major boxing matches are held in government buildings, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors, and the government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lucklife's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Stargazing.

Lucklife is ranked 9,081st in the world and 22nd in The Black Hawks for Highest Average Incomes, with 212,958.71 Standard Monetary Units.
