The Dominion of Luthany is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by First Minister Francis Winger with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.451 billion Luthanyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leith. The average income tax rate is 17.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Luthanyian economy, worth 258 trillion thalers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,115 thalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, notable individuals are granted land and titles, and the dartboard at the Luthanyian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of First Minister Francis Winger's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Luthany's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is New Avalon Catholic Church.

Luthany is ranked 28,484^th in the world and 1^st in Lusaka for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
