The Community of Lughan is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, vat-grown people, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.301 billion Lughanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Lughanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,177 trillion anars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 126,627 anars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Juvenile delinquents are fitter than ever, making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, museums offer moralization or your money back, and people with dyslexia are told to tough through it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lughan's national animal is the Colibri, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lughan is ranked 6,737^th in the world and 103^rd in 10000 Islands for Most Cultured, scoring 136 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
