'''Illuminatia''' is a fictional nation-continent situated upon the world of [[Neonisi]], an improbable planet of an equally fictional nature located some incomprehensibly substantial distance from Earth in an unknown galaxy far outside the Milky Way. Illuminatia Island was [[Settlement of Illuminatia|settled]] by humans who alighted upon the planet at the culmination of the [[Lucidus mission]], a long-term intergalactic expedition originating from Earth tasked with finding a habitable celestial body for humanity to inhabit.

The original settlers of Illuminatia very much unintentionally found this previously unknown planet after an unexpected [[The Anomaly|problem]] aboard the Lucidus spacecraft that [[Lucidus termination event|terminated]] the mission well before the anticipated conclusion to the voyage.

The Illuminatian continent and its associated landmasses are politically united under what is effectively a nation, administered by a [[Government of Illuminatia|government]] controlled by a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy direct democracy] containing elements of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_democracy representative democracy], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meritocracy meritocracy], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy technocracy], and rampant but functional [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureaucracy bureaucracy]. The political seat and capital of Illuminatia is the city of [[Voston]], although the government's numerous agencies are all based in various cities about the continent in efforts to avert any potential geographic concentration of power. The Illuminatian government extends its jurisdiction universally to all persons inhabiting any portion of the Neonisi planet. This governmental unity is a consequence of the [[Lucidus mission guidelines for terrestrial habitation and development|original plan]] for the Lucidus mission, which strongly advised that any sovereign structure would govern all inhabitants of any newly inhabited world and that no partitioning of nations would occur in this new civilization.

Illuminatia Island is an expansive continent, with a handful of major outlying islands, three dominating mountain ranges, and [[Periterranean Sea|ocean]] basins that split the eastern third of the continent into large [[Peninsulas of Illuminatia|peninsulas]]. The continent also contains extensive interior plains, a southern deserts, northern arboraceous forests, and a system of rivers flowing in a variety of trajectories. The continent has heavily populated regions concentrated into seven defined [[Conurbations of Illuminatia|conurbations]], which a majority of the population of this new world call home.

Before human [[Settlement of Illuminatia|habitation]], the surface of the world of Neonisi and the Illuminatian continent were previously devoid of any detectable intelligent or otherwise [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience sentient] life, which was an ideal situation according to Lucidus mission guidelines. These directives sought to, at all expenses, avoid interference with any existing civilizations—a philosophy contrary to historical Earthly human conquests.

Current hypotheses suggest that the [[Flora of Illuminatia|flora]] and [[Fauna of Illuminatia|fauna]] found inhabiting Illuminatia upon human arrival are likely a cross between simple organisms indigenous to the newfound planet and creatures that evolved from life forms carried aboard the Lucidus mission and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduced_species introduced] to the planet prior to human arrival—a conclusion which itself has evolved over the course of the development of Illuminatian civilization. Upon initial discovery of Neonisi, animal life of a seemingly alien origin discovered intermingling with slightly more-familiar beings of Earthly origin were later discovered to be complex [[locomotive meat plant]] creatures that evolved primarily from Lucidus-originated flora.

Illuminatia is now a fully-established civilization with millions of inhabitants, evolved civic structures, a comprehensive [[Education in Illuminatia|educational system]], sustainable energy and resources production, a fair and equitable economic structure, effective [[Population regulation in Illuminatia|population regulation]], intricate transportation and urban infrastructure, progressive cultural institutions, and a free and independent [[Mass media of Illuminatia|media]] ecosystem. Illuminatians all learn to speak the same [[Glossa Communi|language]] though many of them also utilize a [[Protolucidian languages|home languages]] for non-public, unofficial, non-business purposes. They worship and seek enlightenment in the ways of a wide variety of non-deist [[Thought traditions in Illuminatia|traditions of thought]] which are largely compatible and non-conflicting with one another.

The Illuminatian civilization benefits from the lessons provided by Earth's history and enjoys a clean slate, delivering an optimistic, cooperative version of humanity. On balance, Illuminatian culture could be described as a utopia, which was very much the plan of the original mission that settled this planet.
