The Republic of Lux Cathia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.345 billion Lux Cathians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cathix. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Lux Cathian economy, worth 356 trillion Daks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,069 Daks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
