The Republic of Lumeiria is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 190 million Lumeirians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Lumeirian economy, worth 8.24 trillion Bitcoins a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,359 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, and tightly packed choir-boys sing the god-given joys of heterosexuality on public transport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lumeiria's national animal is the Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lumeiria is ranked 245,791^st in the world and 5,562^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
