The Kingdom of Lumiarae is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Crowned Sun King Alexandre III with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.13 billion Lumiarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyrus. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lumiaraean economy, worth 100 trillion solars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,817 solars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, money grows on trees, international tensions are high as Lumiarae threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, and street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lumiarae's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elythisme.

Lumiarae is ranked 20,061^st in the world and 378^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,026.53 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
