The Republic of North Lukopia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by President Jèsne Belmar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.215 billion North Lukopians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sen-Jengon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.9%.

The very strong North Lukopian economy, worth 242 trillion Lukian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 75,510 Lukian Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. North Lukopia's national animal is the North Lukian Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is North Lukopian Church.

North Lukopia is ranked 31,117^th in the world and 7^th in The Alliance of Eros for Fattest Citizens, with 15.25 Obesity Rate.
