The Dark Empire of Lunar Fall is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Umbra Nightmane with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.283 billion Lunarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Lunar Canterlot. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.8%.

The all-consuming Lunarian economy, worth 107 trillion Bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 83,885 Bits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 292,287 per year while the poor average 17,528, a ratio of 16.7 to 1.

Girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer, and Lunarism has been named as Lunar Fall's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lunar Fall's national animal is the Pony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lunarism.

Lunar Fall is ranked 38,564^th in the world and 1^st in Union of Pony Nations for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 6,595.93 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
