The Dáxlamic Queendom of Lussia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Queen Lilly II with an even hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 15.964 billion Lussians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dathomiras. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Lussian economy, worth a remarkable 2,207 trillion Lussian Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 138,265 Lussian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The overhead luggage compartment is often full, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Queen Lilly II's wardrobe, one can wake up in Lussia and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and the national security service are a bunch of crooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lussia's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Lussia is ranked 289,170^th in the world and 175^th in Declansburg for Most Primitive, scoring -226.26 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
