“Welcome to the Freakshow!”

The Dimensional Planes of Lusus Naturae is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Freakshow with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.738 billion Dimension Striders enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of YoxoY. The average income tax rate is 60.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lusus Naturaean economy, worth a remarkable 3,706 trillion Fractals a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 315,808 Fractals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Expats return home to a government devoid of social and environmental agencies, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, randomly bombing neighboring countries has become the new national sport, and former planespotters are dusting off long-abandoned anoraks. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lusus Naturae's national animal is the Anomaly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is variable.

Lusus Naturae is ranked 29,357^th in the world and 1,979^th in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 43.66 flags saluted per person per day.
