The Most Serene Republic of Lupusterra is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 476 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 Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moon City. The average income tax rate is 27.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lupusterran economy, worth 51.6 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 108,451 Wolframs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, orange is the new black for judicial robes, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and all the playground's a stage for Lupusterran schoolchildren. 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 281,550^th in the world and 5,135^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.49 flags saluted per person per day.
