The Bright Holy Realm of Lumiya is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 11.397 billion Lumiyans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lux. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Lumiyan economy, worth 701 trillion wafers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 61,586 wafers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Coconut-half banging former royals skip around the countryside seeking gullible peasants to rule, people who make the leader's blood boil get boiled, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, and former gun owners are finding that brandishing paintball guns isn't as satisfying as the real thing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lumiya's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lumism.
Lumiya is ranked 13,816th in the world and 5th in Union of Allied Planets for Nicest Citizens, with 27.46 average smiles per day.
