The Magnificent Desolation of Luna Amore is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Billy Pilgrim with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, fear of technology, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 37.515 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, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Education, with Welfare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, 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 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Amorian economy, worth an astonishing 12,507 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 333,391 pop-tops, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,527,664 per year while the poor average 44,231, a ratio of 34.5 to 1.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, and babies are a small but significant export. Crime is totally unknown. Luna Amore's national animal is the Infamous Marxist Loon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tao te Loon.

Luna Amore is ranked 220,172^nd in the world and 3^rd in LUE for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -1043.49 on the Hayek Index.
