The Bestest Kingdom of Semper-Luxuria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Alex the Polychromos with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.111 billion Semper-Luxurians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porphurepolis. The average income tax rate is 7.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Semper-Luxurian economy, worth 547 trillion margaritas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 175,947 margaritas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, international commentators accuse the nation of aggressive cultural imperialism, couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, and the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments. Crime is totally unknown. Semper-Luxuria's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pantheon of Thalassa.

Semper-Luxuria is ranked 15,448^th in the world and 27^th in Karma for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 351.26 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
