The Two Revolutionary Zones of Lusenocte is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Archdruid Red Zero with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.48 billion Lusenocteans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ground Zero. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Lusenoctean economy, worth 621 trillion Rations 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 138,642 Rations, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, and restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lusenocte's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lusenocte is ranked 280,426th in the world and 1,140th in The Communist Bloc for Most Primitive, scoring -340.43 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
