The Empire of Terra Lemuria is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 20 million Lemurians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lemurian economy, worth 891 billion Lemas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,590 Lemas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Endangered species are effective hostages against the Lemurian military, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terra Lemuria's national animal is the Lion of Avrophilips, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Terra Lemuria is ranked 176,113^th in the world and 375^th in Vibonia for Most Primitive, scoring -68.19 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
