The Theonomy of Inlumino is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Représentant Clément Dupond with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, aversion to nipples, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.732 billion Inluminoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouvelle Souveraineté. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Inluminoan economy, worth 728 trillion talents a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 127,018 talents, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 427,729 per year while the poor average 27,945, a ratio of 15.3 to 1.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech, the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, and large sections of Inlumino have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inlumino's national animal is the lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reformed Christianity.

Inlumino is ranked 284,371st in the world and 1st in The Federation of Christian States for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -18.71 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
