The Republic of Luthionia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Sacul Nagrem with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 24.175 billion Luthionians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saculium. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Luthionian economy, worth a remarkable 3,491 trillion Merges a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,437 Merges, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and a flying elephant and President Sacul Nagrem share the same nickname. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luthionia's national animal is the Wild Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Luthionia is ranked 304,084^th in the world and 407^th in United Kingdom for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -8.61 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
