The United Socialist States of Luniandez is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Mathemayi with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 9.258 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 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lunian economy, worth a remarkable 1,104 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 119,253 Lunis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Typing Mathemayi's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, war is made in the name of love, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. 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 8,264^th in the world and 428^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 36.94 average smiles per day.
