The Democratic Republic of Luminacore is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5 million Luminacoreans 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 is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, with Welfare, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Industry are ignored. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The Luminacorean economy, worth 282 billion Luxes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 56,471 Luxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control. Luminacore's national animal is the Dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Luminacore is ranked 132,930^th in the world and 232^nd in Edoca for Nudest, with 139.5 cheeks per square mile.
