The Choir of Lulubellia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Buck Hardwick with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.598 billion Luluses love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lulu. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lulubellian economy, worth 216 trillion bancors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 135,444 bancors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, and the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces. Crime is totally unknown. Lulubellia's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Brains.

Lulubellia is ranked 188,356^th in the world and 4,924^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 35.5 billion Standard Monetary Units.
