The Last Bastion of Civilization of Lacuna is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic population of 24.883 billion Lacunians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lacuna City. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lacunan economy, worth a remarkable 3,825 trillion Naughts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 153,756 Naughts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage', ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Lacunan pirates, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Lacunan language. Crime is totally unknown. Lacuna's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lacuna is ranked 3,142nd in the world and 110th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 212 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
