The Precious Gemnation of Lhuurznhaline is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Vanessa Darklight with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.527 billion Lhuurznhalineans 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tourmalinia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Lhuurznhalinean economy, worth a remarkable 3,784 trillion Tourmalines 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 359,512 Tourmalines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, there's a bright dawn ahead for Lhuurznhaline, and the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches. Crime is totally unknown. Lhuurznhaline's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult of Books.

Lhuurznhaline is ranked 289,752^nd in the world and 45^th in Jeinnhezslhaunia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -30.3 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
