The Most Serene Republic of Lupusterra is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 341 million Lupusterrans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moon City. The average income tax rate is 21.3%.

The all-consuming Lupusterran economy, worth 36.5 trillion Wolframs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,184 Wolframs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, and the military has gone fission for more funding. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lupusterra's national animal is the Nivalwarg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lupusterra is ranked 95,410^th in the world and 2,073^rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
