The Syncretic Democratic Khanate of Lucedeia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Qawasgir Tarkhun Turantash with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 19.103 billion Lucedeians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kushana. The average income tax rate is 72.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Lucedeian economy, worth a remarkable 2,852 trillion Darics a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,321 Darics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Sworn provincial enemies must be held back in Qawasgir Tarkhun Turantash's cabinet meetings, the horniness of the great-horned Wind Horse is considered a national priority, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, and corporate recruiters have adopted 'at least it's not government work' as their new catchphrase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lucedeia's national animal is the Wind Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Religious Syncretism.

Lucedeia is ranked 88,332^nd in the world and 1,270^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,647.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
