The Woodhouse Luvs U 4ever💋 of Luftballons is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by T J Eckleburg with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, disturbing lack of elderly people, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.981 billion Luftballonsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gucci Mane. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.2%.

The Luftballonsian economy, worth 462 trillion $$s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,133 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Luftballonsians any less frightened, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and Luftballonsian husbands are dead good at fathering kids. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luftballons's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Luftballons is ranked 174,372^nd in the world and 1^st in New World Order of Fascism for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
