The Untied Satieties of Lurraterra is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bjørg Bjarnarsdottir with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 14.01 billion Lurrans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The frighteningly efficient Lurraterran economy, worth a remarkable 2,640 trillion Herps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 188,481 Herps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, a determined opposition debates the relative benefits of Arial and Times New Roman for days on end, and military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds'.
