The Grand Duchy of Van Luxemburg is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 15.757 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, 'unconventional' weaponry has been banned, and the space program has been scrapped in order to focus on more terrestrial pursuits. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Van Luxemburg's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Florin.

Van Luxemburg is ranked 5th in Maredoratica and 12,447th in the world for Happiest Citizens, scoring 11 on the Relative Cheerfulness Rating.
