The Allied States of Luttetia is a tiny, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Aster population. The hard-working population of 12 million Luttetians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The very strong Luttetian economy, worth 727 billion Asters a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 60,641 Asters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,246 per year while the poor average 15,386, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Luttetia's national animal is the Aster, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Luttetia is ranked 125,817^th in the world and 4^th in Asteroid Belt for Highest Average Incomes, with 60,641.22 Standard Monetary Units.
