The Empire of Lunar sand is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 527 million Lunar sandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrid. The average income tax rate is 12.3%.

The powerhouse Lunar sandian economy, worth 43.6 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 82,662 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, cigarettes are dead-cheap, and footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lunar sand's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Lunar sand is ranked 73,091^st in the world and 68^th in Africa for Most Secular, with 18.64 Atheism Rate.
