The Dawn of the end of Lunas Bane is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.265 billion Lunas Baneans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.6%.
The all-consuming Lunas Banean economy, worth 578 trillion deniers 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 92,276 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.
Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves, builders across Lunas Bane are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lunas Bane's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Lunas Bane is ranked 50,160th in the world and 131st in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
