The Soviet State of Red Bull Ring is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade Twilight Sparkle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.772 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Equestrian economy, worth 349 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 highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 73,204 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, factories are regularly demolished to make way for low-cost housing areas, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Red Bull Ring's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Red Bull Ring is ranked 9,728th in the world and 193rd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,615.67 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
