The Medieval Dominion of Luanmi is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Oliver Civanov with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 23.176 billion Luanmians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 Alphensur. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luanmian economy, worth a remarkable 4,431 trillion Siltegans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 191,190 Siltegans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Luanmian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, and one little fight can find you movin' to be the fresh prince of Ilba. 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 Hartebeest, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Taoism.

Luanmi is ranked 7,336^th in the world and 28^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Smartest Citizens, with 109.09 quips per hour.
