The Soviet State of Red Bull Ring is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Comrade Twilight Sparkle with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.019 billion Ponies are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Equestrian economy, worth 496 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is 82,420 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Violet Mile now refers to the long line-ups that former death row inmates wait in as they transfer to maximum security prisons, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, solid-gold toilets are Equestrian prisons' least expensive furnishings, and the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red Bull Ring's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Red Bull Ring is ranked 286,047^th in the world and 1,110^th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -211.83 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
