The Holy Red City of La Republica de la Luz is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by T-Dog with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 17.601 billion Luzians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Claraboya. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Progresista economy, worth a remarkable 1,252 trillion SRCUS a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,183 SRCUS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', pro-life activists often lecture pregnant women undergoing routine prenatal screening, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, and diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Republica de la Luz's national animal is the Albino Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

La Republica de la Luz is ranked 150,619^th in the world and 1^st in The New Nations of Ridgeview for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 426.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
