The United Socialist Republics of Luwendr is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by National People's Council with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 1.094 billion Luwens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greuland. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Luwen economy, worth 73.8 trillion lerps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 67,451 lerps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luwendr's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Luwendr is ranked 15,102^nd in the world and 314^th in The Communist Bloc for Healthiest Citizens, with 12.07 bananas ingested per day.
