The Rogue Nation of Luminarum is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 464 million dead enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palace of the Dead. The average income tax rate is 24.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish a dead person economy, worth 14.3 trillion ancient golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 30,801 ancient golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age', and Luminarum has designated Palace of the Dead as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown. Luminarum's national animal is the corpse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Luminarum is ranked 231,444th in the world and 3,312th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 464 million capita.
