The Holy Empire of Lunamarius is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emerald Prophet with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 39.089 billion Lunamariusians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunamarius City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The thriving Lunamariusian economy, worth a remarkable 4,575 trillion lunas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,057 lunas, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

It is often said that only Emerald Prophet could bring down Dàguó, the nation has been sent to bed early for unspecified naughtiness, police are trained in using their steel-capped boots as a tool of law enforcement, and state-sanctioned torture is okay so long as there's no icky blood. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Lunamarius's national animal is the green bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lunarism.

Lunamarius is ranked 330,102nd in the world and 2nd in Zetegen for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -20.25 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
