The Sacred Kingdom of Lumir is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by HRM Queen Aquaria XXVII with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.35 billion Lumirians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aquios. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lumirian economy, worth a remarkable 4,502 trillion fols a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,902 fols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad, Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled", carpal tunnel syndrome is on the rise, and the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lumir's national animal is the nu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Church of Apris.

Lumir is ranked 10,168th in the world and 55th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 404.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
