The Royal Empire of Luminica is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 729 million Luminicans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Roma. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Luminican economy, worth 58.4 trillion Luminican Denarii a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,100 Luminican Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luminica's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Luminica is ranked 48,111^th in the world and 268^th in Europe for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,783.56 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
