The Psychedelic Kaleidoscope of Luddinlande is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Master Indigo of the High Chorus with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 15.631 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 3,001 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 192,009 red roses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Green Meadows for fear of causing a fuss, Master Indigo of the High Chorus's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, and Master Indigo of the High Chorus's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. 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 8,048th in the world and 144th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 2,624.05545254788 days.
