The Untied Satieties of Lurraterra is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bjørg Bjarnarsdottir with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 14.033 billion Lurrans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Staxton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Lurraterran economy, worth a remarkable 2,667 trillion Herps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 190,118 Herps, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 548,230 per year while the poor average 52,337, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

You can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, exploding toys that leak battery acid are back in the shops after the government declared child safety 'over-rated', new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, and juvenile delinquents are fitter than ever. Crime is almost non-existent. Lurraterra's national animal is the Derp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lurraterra is ranked 288,998th in the world and 11,242nd in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -581.2 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
