The Republic of Lumarania is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Niko Fuentes with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.422 billion Lumaranians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lumaria. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lumaranian economy, worth 387 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,304 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, parents who try to organize playdates for their kids have police drop through their ceilings, and bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lumarania's national animal is the Groyper Toad, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Lumarania is ranked 34,892^nd in the world and 22^nd in Catholic for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,483.76 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
