The United Socialist States of Luniandez is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Mathemayi with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.323 billion Lunians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Olinda. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lunian economy, worth a remarkable 1,133 trillion Lunis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 121,622 Lunis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, the carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luniandez's national animal is the Lunian monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Luniandez is ranked 282,940^th in the world and 6,018^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
