The Grand Duchy of Lexembourg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Duchess Adélaïde with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 30.077 billion Lexembourgers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville Lexembourg. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lexembourgish economy, worth a remarkable 1,907 trillion francs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,426 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, and rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lexembourg's national animal is the panthera leo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Lexembourg is ranked 5,637^th in the world and 116^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,202.18 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
