The Most Serene Republic of Lupusterra is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 500 million Lupusterrans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moon City. The average income tax rate is 25.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lupusterran economy, worth 54.9 trillion Wolframs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,837 Wolframs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, both criminals and civilians are DOA, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lupusterra's national animal is the Nivalwarg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lupusterra is ranked 38,632^nd in the world and 874^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 182.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
