The Most Serene Republic of Lupusterra is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 481 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 27.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lupusterran economy, worth 52.4 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 108,842 Wolframs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. 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 11,122^nd in the world and 311^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 55.21 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
