The Australasian Republic of Lushansk is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by General Alexei Haskell with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 5.515 billion Lushanskians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiev. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lushanskian economy, worth 550 trillion Confederation Shekels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 99,809 Confederation Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The legal profession considers itself above the law, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Lushansk's radio stations. Crime is relatively low. Lushansk's national animal is the Springbok, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Reformed Christian.

Lushansk is ranked 205,195^th in the world and 9^th in Federation of Australasian States for Most Primitive, scoring -120.06 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
