The Island Republic of Lungha is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Lieu with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 6.986 billion Lunghayuns have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haicheng 海城. The average income tax rate is 75.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lunghan economy, worth a remarkable 2,622 trillion Lunghan Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 375,330 Lunghan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, the might of the entire Lunghan Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, and in pet stores nationwide Steel Lobsters are growing in popularity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lungha's national animal is the Steel Lobster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lungha is ranked 886th in the world and 1st in Saint Helene for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,615.68 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
