The Free Paradise of Luraakia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Luraak The Aesthetic with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.818 billion Luraakians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Flambard. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luraakian economy, worth a remarkable 3,148 trillion Lohlunats 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 144,291 Lohlunats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign invaders are putting Luraakian lab rats out of a job, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and the swagger of covering up is unparalleled. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Luraakia's national animal is the Caracel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom.

Luraakia is ranked 192,394^th in the world and 3^rd in The Thonlands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,043.67 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
