The Grand Duchy of Lexembourg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Duchess Adélaïde with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 30.155 billion Lexembourgers 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville Lexembourg. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lexembourgish economy, worth a remarkable 1,880 trillion francs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,349 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, and rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lexembourg's national animal is the panthera leo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Lexembourg is ranked 77,312^th in the world and 734^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 101.08 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
