The Republic of Lumiere au sein de is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Clare Hoverwish with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 3.806 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soleil City. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The internet has been placed under government control, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, artists are pillars of society, and immigrants flood the job queues as discrimination in the workplace makes a staggering comeback. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lumiere au sein de's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Perle.

Lumiere au sein de is ranked 310th in 10000 Islands and 9,975th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 22 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
