The Syncretic Union of Lucedeia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Qawasgir Tarkhun Turantash with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.105 billion Lucedeians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kushana. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lucedeian economy, worth a remarkable 1,995 trillion Darics a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,451 Darics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, the justice of Lucedeia is considered superior to that of other nations, and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lucedeia's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Religious Syncretism.

Lucedeia is ranked 9,659^th in the world and 461^st in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 415.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
