The Free Land of Lualaba is a fledgling, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6 million Lualabans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Lualaban economy, worth 396 billion Luals a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 66,057 Luals, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 312,313 per year while the poor average 8,270, a ratio of 37.8 to 1.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, and the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lualaba's national animal is the Okapi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lualaba is ranked 63,230^th in the world and 92^nd in Horizon for Rudest Citizens, with 72.19 insults per minute.
