The Republic of Lunaria of Galactic Arbitaner is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by President Jake Arthuria with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.32 billion Lunarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.5%.

The all-consuming Lunarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,135 trillion PaciBits 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 an impressive 110,057 PaciBits, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks, and elected officials often serve for decades in a single term. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galactic Arbitaner's national animal is the terra bacterium, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Neo-Christianity.

Galactic Arbitaner is ranked 74,628^th in the world and 16^th in Zero for Highest Poor Incomes, with 40,381.67 Standard Monetary Units.
