The Community of Lua 5 is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning duck population. The hard-working population of 1.884 billion Lua 5ians 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.6%.

The Lua 5ian economy, worth 77.2 trillion MIT-Licenses a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 40,954 MIT-Licenses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lua 5's national animal is the duck.

Lua 5 is ranked 71,752^nd in the world and 1^st in Union of Straight and Righteous Nations for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,881.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
