The Kingdom of Ludania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Geraint IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.896 billion Ludanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Defense, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glanbrenin. The average income tax rate is 17.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ludanian economy, worth a remarkable 8,733 trillion Corons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 337,237 Corons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, and visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with King Geraint IV. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ludania's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Ludania is ranked 291,075^th in the world and 47^th in The Confederacy of Free Nations for Most Primitive, scoring -799.88 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
