The Bestest Kingdom of Semper-Luxuria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Alex the Polychromos with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.065 billion Semper-Luxurians 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 Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porphurepolis. The average income tax rate is 8.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Semper-Luxurian economy, worth 537 trillion margaritas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 175,343 margaritas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, and paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black. Crime is totally unknown. Semper-Luxuria's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pantheon of Thalassa.

Semper-Luxuria is ranked 14,161st in the world and 33rd in Karma for Most Developed, scoring 88.62 on the Human Development Index.
