The Crown of Lumermeyr is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Wilhelm Scultetus with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.667 billion Lumer enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Görlitz. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lumer economy, worth 539 trillion thalers a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,249 thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Wilhelm Scultetus to meetings with foreign heads of state, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, jail house rock has been replaced with jail house golden oldies, and social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lumermeyr's national animal is the ox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Lumermeyr is ranked 278,186^th in the world and 1,253^rd in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
