The Aerospace Republic of LSK is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Richard E Wilson with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.132 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 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luskan economy, worth a remarkable 1,186 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 major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 193,426 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over LSK, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, and exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting. 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 18,485th in the world and 78th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,527.88 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
