The Queendom of Luz de Luna is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Lunar Queen Starburst with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.513 billion Luz de Lunans 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicxulub Crater. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Luz de Lunan economy, worth 189 trillion Stardusts a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,524 Stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', beggars lack pockets for spare change, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luz de Luna's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Luz de Luna is ranked 173,520th in the world and 3,239th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 169.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
