The United Socialist States of Luniandez is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Mathemayi with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.346 billion Lunians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Olinda. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lunian economy, worth a remarkable 1,147 trillion Lunis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 122,782 Lunis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, Mathemayi lives life on the open road - complete with groupies, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luniandez's national animal is the Lunian monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Luniandez is ranked 285,519^th in the world and 6,099^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.53 kickbacks per hour.
