The Republic of Lutien is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Lu with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.077 billion Lutians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lutia. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lutienian economy, worth 607 trillion Luroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,258 Luroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and on-duty Air Lutien flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lutien's national animal is the fact-spitting frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gaming.

Lutien is ranked 259,239^th in the world and 4^th in Frogster for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
