The Republic of Luther is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.823 billion Lutherians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lutherian economy, worth 635 trillion chaos gelts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 72,037 chaos gelts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, child labor has been outlawed, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, and hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luther's national animal is the fallen angel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Luther is ranked 155,208^th in the world and 2,096^th in Remembrance for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 616.86 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
