The Republic of Lucenterra is a large, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning panther population. The hard-working population of 67 million Lucenterrans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lucenterran economy, worth 3.60 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,798 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and Leader has been nicknamed 'Robomop'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lucenterra's national animal is the panther.

Lucenterra is ranked 214,440^th in the world and 4,998^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 30.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
