The South German State of Republic Of Ludwigsburg is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kanzler Friedrich Schonbrunn with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, humorless population of 2.113 billion South Germans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ludwigsburg. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Suddeutscher economy, worth 267 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 126,566 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only women behind bars are barmaids, a five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, and obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic Of Ludwigsburg's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is No Official Faith.

Republic Of Ludwigsburg is ranked 8,031^st in the world and 1^st in The Rejected Onionists for Healthiest Citizens, with 16.37 bananas ingested per day.
