The Theocracy of Luminous Incorporated is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Director Luminous Moon with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.391 billion Luminous incorporated are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ayacachitili. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Luminous economy, worth 749 trillion Bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 221,150 Bits, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Subsistence farmers require doctorates in applied sowing, domestic fishermen fly the Luminous flag out of fear of being blown up, the police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, and the New Ayacachitili State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luminous Incorporated's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Corporate-Lunarism.

Luminous Incorporated is ranked 329,079^th in the world and 17,483^rd in Lazarus for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -16.43 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
