The National Democratic Republic of Luresia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 20.999 billion Luresians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The strong Luresian economy, worth a remarkable 1,242 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,186 lire, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 381,461 per year while the poor average 3,710, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the only things Luresians vote on are cutest panther competitions, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Luresia's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Luresia is ranked 245,496^th in the world and 36^th in Bus Stop for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.58 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
