“War and Hard Labor are Every Man's God-given Rights.”

The Post-natal Abortionists of Luddite Territories is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Ludds with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.237 billion are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Taurobolia. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, and Luddite Territories's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of academic achievement. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Luddite Territories's national animal is the sacrificial bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Mithraism, and its currency is the Golden Mithras.

Luddite Territories is ranked 16th in the region and 600th in the world for Best Weather.
