The Black Holy Dominion of Lumon Industries is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kier Keagan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 4.965 billion Americans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York City. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Lumon Industriesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,196 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 442,354 Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, this year's televised Budget Forecast has been cancelled because there was already one last year, many friends and relatives of Kier Keagan have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and the Lumon Industriesian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel. Crime is totally unknown. Lumon Industries's national animal is the Vampire Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Belial - Lord of Terror.

Lumon Industries is ranked 845^th in the world and 22^nd in The Financial District of New York for Highest Average Incomes, with 442,354.24 Standard Monetary Units.
