The Greater Empire of Luchsmania is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Albrecht Drachmann with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.871 billion Luchsmanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Achsen. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luchsmanian economy, worth 929 trillion Luchsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 190,884 Luchsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The official Luchsmanian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, airports offer up-charged enemas, and the average cargo freighter spends more than half its service life undergoing safety inspections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luchsmania's national animal is the Achsen Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Luchsmania is ranked 7,041^st in the world and 2^nd in Der Leibwache for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,463.73 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
