The Stratego Nation of Luitenant is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Luitenant with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 25.549 billion Luitenantians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luitenant City. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Luitenantian economy, worth 978 trillion Strategoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry. Average income is 38,284 Strategoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luitenant's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Militarism.

Luitenant is ranked 239,765^th in the world and 86^th in Vlaanderen for Highest Food Quality, scoring 8.4 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
