The PCN simulation of Lustral is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mika with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.392 billion NPC's are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lustralia. The average income tax rate is 88.6%.

The frighteningly efficient NPC economy, worth 382 trillion Munnies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 112,712 Munnies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

NPC's believe manners maketh the leader, rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Lustral, and the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lustral's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Bell.

Lustral is ranked 7,670^th in the world and 2^nd in Bottom Right for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,316.45 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
