Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Shining Light of Lumierea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Liza Mawu with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 11.948 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 concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Social Equality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katiania. The average income tax rate is 59%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Information Technology and Tourism.

Motels cater primarily to adulterers, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Lumierea's radio stations, and crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters. Crime is totally unknown. Lumierea's national animal is the Firefly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Hylomorphism, and its currency is the lumiere.

Lumierea is ranked 855th in the Pacific and 34,048th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 14 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
