The National Republic of Luncispia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Overseer with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, ritual sacrifices, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.443 billion Luncs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Spirituality, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Istanbul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Luncispian economy, worth 174 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 120,894 rupees, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 581,336 per year while the poor average 14,660, a ratio of 39.7 to 1.

Pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, terrorism and assassination are tried-and-true methods of political activism, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, and museum visitors often bring lemons and black lights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luncispia's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Luncispia is ranked 141,142nd in the world and 1st in Vurkianverse for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 647.74 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
