The Federation of Luminality is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by CatSword with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.689 billion Lumitarians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Murcar Bay. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lumitarian economy, worth 797 trillion Baris 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 216,171 Baris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, Luminality is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Luminality's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Luminality is ranked 234,280^th in the world and 159^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
