The 🦋 Butterfly 🦋 of Lumeris is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Adelina Lumuro with an even hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, absence of drug laws, and astonishingly minimal parenting. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.298 billion Lumineans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lumuros. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lumineans economy, worth 388 trillion Stardusts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 90,451 Stardusts, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 477,976 per year while the poor average 9,090, a ratio of 52.6 to 1.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Stardusts of property damage, the RXN information hour is a guaranteed cure for insomnia, and prison is a nightmare. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lumeris's national animal is the Hakine Falcon and its national religion is Star Sister.

Lumeris is ranked 74,800th in the world and 226th in Starlight for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
