The Republic of Lumesta is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Pássaro azulzinho population. The hard-working, democratic population of 78 million Lumestans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 6.6%.

The strong Lumestan economy, worth 4.50 trillion Lins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 57,697 Lins, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned and all the playground's a stage for Lumestan schoolchildren. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lumesta's national animal is the Pássaro azulzinho .

Lumesta is ranked 258,775^th in the world and 182^nd in Sparkalia for Largest Populations, with 78.0 million capita.
