The People's Republic of Lunethia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Selene Damaris with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3.874 billion Lunethians 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 tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noctus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lunethian economy, worth 675 trillion Skals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 174,383 Skals, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, and advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lunethia's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Civitas Secularis.

Lunethia is ranked 279,980^th in the world and 79^th in Portugal for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 25.21 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
