The Dimensional Planes of Lusus Naturae is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Freakshow with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.546 billion Dimension Striders 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of YoxoY. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lusus Naturaean economy, worth a remarkable 3,196 trillion Fractals a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 303,146 Fractals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Bounty hunters have been dispatched to hunt down rogue bounty hunters, former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lusus Naturae's national animal is the Anomaly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is variable.

Lusus Naturae is ranked 3,407th in the world and 154th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 665.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
