The Grand Duchy of Lexembourg is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Grand Duchess Adélaïde with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 22.191 billion Lexembourgers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville Lexembourg. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lexembourgish economy, worth a remarkable 1,260 trillion francs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,792 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, and rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lexembourg's national animal is the panthera leo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Lexembourg is ranked 179,792^nd in the world and 975^th in Europe for Nudest, with 63.75 Cheeks Per Square Mile.
