The United Socialist States of Luniandez is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mathemayi with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, soft-spoken computers, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.335 billion Lunians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Olinda. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lunian economy, worth a remarkable 1,146 trillion Lunis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 122,869 Lunis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the New Olinda Lunian Monkeys against long odds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luniandez's national animal is the Lunian monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Luniandez is ranked 268,760^th in the world and 5,634^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.06 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
