The Tsardom of Lura is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Tsar Sorejo III with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, conspicuous electricity pylons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 14.886 billion Lurans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunaja-Solare. The average income tax rate is 84.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luran economy, worth a remarkable 2,072 trillion gales a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,228 gales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A light breeze is enough to make Tsar Sorejo III fold, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lura's national animal is the tuatara, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lura is ranked 5,198th in the world and 49th in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 94.39 on the Human Development Index.
