The Nomadic Peoples of Ludewa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by bob with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 38.3 billion Ludewans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of bob. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Ludewan economy, worth an astonishing 18,317 trillion thoughts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 478,268 thoughts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to bob to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ludewa's national animal is the animalcule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
Ludewa is ranked 102nd in the world and 4th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 842 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
