The Tsardom of Lura is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tsar Sorejo III with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 9.801 billion Lurans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunaja-Solare. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luran economy, worth a remarkable 1,335 trillion gales a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,290 gales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lura's national animal is the tuatara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lura is ranked 3,478^th in the world and 47^th in Forest for Safest, scoring 137.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
