The Armed Republic of Lumiere du Premier is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 228 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 Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.
The all-consuming Lumiere du Premierian economy, worth 20.9 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 91,539 Soleils, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.
Thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, hundreds of teenagers die every year at the Lumiere du Premierian Hungry Games, and doughnut-makers claim their products are healthy because they are fortified with vitamins. 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 126,128th in the world and 2,511th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,556.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
