The Kingdom of Lumiarae is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Crowned Sun King Alexandre III with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 2.413 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 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lumiaraean economy, worth 233 trillion solars a year, is quite specialized 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 96,797 solars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Pyrus make great practice for foreign snipers. 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 peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elythisme.

Lumiarae is ranked 197,561^st in the world and 1,009^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 548.33 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
