The Reticulated Splines of Luna Amore is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Billy Pilgrim with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, unlimited-speed roads, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 34.618 billion Amorians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Education, although Welfare, Environment, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mare Loon. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Amorian economy, worth an astonishing 11,108 trillion pop-tops a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 320,883 pop-tops, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,177,356 per year while the poor average 61,906, a ratio of 19.0 to 1.

Politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, nephews and nieces of the monarch resort to begging from relatives in palace halls, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is totally unknown. Luna Amore's national animal is the Infamous Marxist Loon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tao te Loon.

Luna Amore is ranked 10^th in the world and 1^st in Free Thought for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 99.14 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
