“Oecologia Humanitas Iustitia”

The Confederacy of Lummaland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, cynical population of 487 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory minature radios, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Lummaland's national animal is the klippschliefer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the zwielich.

Lummaland is ranked 1757th in the region and 15,967th in the world for Smartest Citizens.
