The Colony of Luna-1 is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Idris Barr with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.813 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 is mainly concerned with Education, although Commerce and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underhill. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales industries.

City rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of experimental delivery drones, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Luna-1's national animal is the waterbear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Credit.

Luna-1 is ranked 1st in 3753 Cruithne and 29,753rd in the world for Most Influential, scoring 18 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
