The Psychedelic Kaleidoscope of Luddinlande is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Master Indigo of the High Chorus with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 17.479 billion Luddineans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Green Meadows. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Luddinean economy, worth a remarkable 3,371 trillion red roses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 192,871 red roses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, families make most of their annual income from government benefits, and children grow up believing the sun to be a myth. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luddinlande's national animal is the blue dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Luddinlande is ranked 1,041st in the world and 18th in the South Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 100.21 Effective Tax Rate.
