The Sacro Império Unido of Lusitania do ocidente is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Don Victor IV with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.39 billion Lusitanos are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vera Cruz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lusitano economy, worth 188 trillion Cruzzes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 135,914 Cruzzes, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

The television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, one lone government employee can be seen hunting for the elusive stray white dog, citizens who fail to follow the official national religion are executed, and new religious sects are squashed immediately by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lusitania do ocidente's national animal is the Corvo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana.

Lusitania do ocidente is ranked 10,457^th in the world and 12^th in The Western Isles for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 7,318.33 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
