The Anime Girl Amala of Luminethra is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ama with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.158 billion Luminethrans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amala. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Luminethran economy, worth 147 trillion Lumins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,305 Lumins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 495,157 per year while the poor average 22,378, a ratio of 22.1 to 1.

Schoolchildren are taught to boo and hiss at Ama's name, Luminethran dissenters are begging human rights groups to ignore them, the Moon Jellyfish is protected from hunting and slowly coming back from the brink of extinction, and insanely good theatre productions face government censorship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luminethra's national animal is the Moon Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Luminethra is ranked 45,521st in the world and 56th in Starlight for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,759.05 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
