The Most Ancient and Noble House of Lancaster of Wessex is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Duke Lancaster with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 37.224 billion Lancastrians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Ancestral Estate Capital Region. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lancaster of Wessexian economy, worth an astonishing 12,760 trillion Royal Crown Sterlings a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 342,814 Royal Crown Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Lancaster of Wessex's national animal is the peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is ceremonially Wessex Anglicanism.
