The United Socialist States of Luniandez is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mateus Pereira with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.499 billion Lunians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Olinda. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lunian economy, worth 492 trillion Lunis 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 89,560 Lunis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Lunian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luniandez's national animal is the Lunian monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Luniandez is ranked 75,510^th in the world and 2,735^th in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 83 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
