The Federation of Lummene Lake is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.169 billion Lummene Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lummene Lakean economy, worth 82.4 trillion gambles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,459 gambles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Lummene Lakeans, families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, and on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lummene Lake's national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lummene Lake is ranked 130,291st in the world and 198th in Lakes in Finland for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 2,882.33 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
