The Empire of Ludicrous Power is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning giraffe population. The hard-working population of 13.28 billion Ludicrous Powerians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ludicrous Powerian economy, worth 537 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 40,478 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ludicrous Power's national animal is the giraffe.

Ludicrous Power is ranked 139,353^rd in the world and 6,217^th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
