The Christmas Winter Order of Knights of LUSITANIA is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.1 billion Lusitanians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sintræ. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lusitanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,352 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,119 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, children entertain themselves by throwing rocks through the windows of world-class museums, drunk drivers are sentenced to death, and engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Knights of LUSITANIA's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christmas.

Knights of LUSITANIA is ranked 53,595^th in the world and 64^th in Fifth Empire for Most Extreme, scoring 30.72 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
