The United Kingdoms of The Lancerian Empire is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen-Empress Amelia with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.746 billion Lancerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Cyr. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lancerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,658 trillion Metens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,442 Metens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, Queen-Empress Amelia is frequently seen begging critics to stop insulting the government, politicians who misplace decimal points on expense reports are fired for gross incompetence, and snap elections are called whenever there's a chance to increase Queen-Empress Amelia's majority. Crime is totally unknown. The Lancerian Empire's national animal is the Percheron Horse, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Lancerian Empire is ranked 98,732^nd in the world and 4,058^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,477.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
