The Anime Girl Amala of Luminethra is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Ama with an even hand, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, daily referendums, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 999 million Luminethrans 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amala. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Luminethran economy, worth 124 trillion Lumins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 124,128 Lumins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 660,113 per year while the poor average 12,309, a ratio of 53.6 to 1.

That which doesn't kill you can get you de-platformed, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, and the government is chasing the gold at the end of the rainbow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luminethra's national animal is the Moon Jellyfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Luminethra is ranked 79,316th in the world and 152nd in Starlight for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,251.67 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
