The Inselstaat of Lummerland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by König Alfons der viertel-vor-Zwölfte with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 9.48 billion Lummerlandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Das Schloss. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lummerlandian economy, worth 685 trillion Erdbeereis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,359 Erdbeereis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, and no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lummerland's national animal is the Frau Mahlzahn oder so ähnlich, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eisenbahn.

Lummerland is ranked 259,956^th in the world and 35^th in Deutschland for Fattest Citizens, with 6.5 Obesity Rate.
