The Armed Republic of Lumiere du Premier is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 235 million Lumierians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.
The all-consuming Lumiere du Premierian economy, worth 21.6 trillion Soleils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 91,710 Soleils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,597 per year while the poor average 24,068, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.
Hundreds of teenagers die every year at the Lumiere du Premierian Hungry Games, doughnut-makers claim their products are healthy because they are fortified with vitamins, the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lumiere du Premier's national animal is the Silver Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Lumiere du Premier is ranked 122,794th in the world and 2,437th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,653.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
