The Playful River Pet of Lutari is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 7.228 billion Lutarians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lutarian economy, worth 498 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,989 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, international tensions are high as Lutari threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lutari's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lutari is ranked 168,248^th in the world and 3^rd in E Region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 333.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
