The Loving Couple of -Lumity- is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Wrath with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, avowedly heterosexual populace, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.351 billion -Lumity-ians 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.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonesborough. The average income tax rate is 61.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient -Lumity-ian economy, worth 425 trillion snails a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 97,777 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

All you have to do is pray to get into -Lumity-, planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color", jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, and soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Lumity-'s national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

-Lumity- is ranked 66,004th in the world and 2nd in The Owl House for Most Stationary, with 732.66791303668 days.
