The Mediterranean Prefectures of Luanmi is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Sofiane Burlough with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.673 billion Luanmians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Valhampton. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luanmian economy, worth a remarkable 4,089 trillion Siltegans a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,351 Siltegans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is losing its mind(s), the Twelve Steps To Logging Off is the most popular mobile download, Sofiane Burlough believes shadows are part of the Illuminati, and top gamblers bet against seedy hoopers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luanmi's national animal is the Antelope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Taoism.

Luanmi is ranked 285,048^th in the world and 121^st in Free Democracies International for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 48.88 Workforce Participation Rate.
