The Armed Republic of Lumiere du Premier is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 478 million Lumierians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Lumiere du Premierian economy, worth 49.2 trillion Soleils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 102,963 Soleils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,492 per year while the poor average 24,645, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Babies are increasingly seen as a luxury, reddish-brown is the new black, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lumiere du Premier's national animal is the Silver Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Lumiere du Premier is ranked 315,487^th in the world and 4,475^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Pacifist, with 5.63 cheeks turned per day.
