The Aerospace Republic of LSK is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Richard E Wilson with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.999 billion Luskans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fawn Lake. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luskan economy, worth a remarkable 1,150 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 191,743 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In musicals everybody's a little bit racist, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and the government has enacted freedom of information. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LSK's national animal is the Domestician Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Industrialism.

LSK is ranked 101,891^st in the world and 517^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,029 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
