The Allied States of Luxcrest is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Morgan Greenwood with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.501 billion Luxcrestians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxor. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luxcrestian economy, worth 837 trillion Luxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 111,704 Luxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, and tourists ask to stay in the same pleasant accommodations where foreign prisoners are kept. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luxcrest's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Luxcrest is ranked 3,676^th in the world and 47^th in Europeia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,296.9 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
