The Dimensional Planes of Lusus Naturae is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Freakshow with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, feral children, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.421 billion Dimension Striders are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of YoxoY. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lusus Naturaean economy, worth a remarkable 3,181 trillion Fractals a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 305,276 Fractals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Explosive diarrhoea is not just a colorful phrase, human pie shops continue to receive shipments of meat from Spleeny Rodd's, half of Lusus Naturae just lost MyFace after space debris collided with a major communications satellite, and it's illegal to exterminate cockroaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lusus Naturae's national animal is the Anomaly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is variable.

Lusus Naturae is ranked 4,780th in the world and 216th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 172 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
