The Colony of Lunaricus is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 607 million Lunarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seraphix. The average income tax rate is 54.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lunaricusian economy, worth 49.1 trillion shales 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 80,936 shales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Complaining about Christmas music in October is a ho-ho-horrendous crime, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, helicopter parenting is on the rise, and Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lunaricus's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lunaricus is ranked 215,523^rd in the world and 8^th in Chaldea for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 254.21 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
