Located in the scenic Wyoming Valley in northeastern Pennsylvania, Luzerne, or the Kingdom of Luzerne, is a truely magical land. What Luzerne lacks in diversity (98.92% white as of the 2000 census), it more than makes up for in old people (as of 2000, 46.4 % are 45 and older). If ever you find yourself in the Wyoming Valley (god help you), be sure to stop in Luzerne, it's the crown jewel of the region! "Welcome to the Kingdom of Luzerne, enjoy our old white people!"
