The Church of The Luck of Jirachi is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Priest Bennett Duval with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, lack of airports, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 15.689 billion Jirachites are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wish City. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jirachian economy, worth a remarkable 1,209 trillion Luck Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 77,063 Luck Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Classes are regularly interrupted by drunken children, burglars are known for taking cash, socks, and other valuables, government policies change at the drop of a rabbit, and slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Luck of Jirachi's national animal is the Jirachi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jirachism.

The Luck of Jirachi is ranked 11,888^th in the world and 1^st in Blackstar for Most Cultured, scoring 106 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
