The Federation of Republic Of Ludwigsburg is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, humorless population of 457 million Ludwigers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ludwigsburg. The average income tax rate is 32.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ludwiger economy, worth 39.6 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 86,635 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, and the latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic Of Ludwigsburg's national animal is the Stallion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Republic Of Ludwigsburg is ranked 10,880^th in the world and 1^st in Union Of Socialist Workers for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 6,043.58 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
