The Space Soviet Republic of The Lunar Commune is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.212 billion Space Rothnians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunagrad. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Space Rothnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,022 trillion Lunar Rubles 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 141,845 Lunar Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, and crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Lunar Commune's national animal is the Moon Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Lunar Commune is ranked 7,024^th in the world and 2^nd in The Moon for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 483.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
