The Cozy Retired Absurd Robots of Ladratia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Science with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 1.994 billion Ladratians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Defense, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hotal'kan. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ladratian economy, worth 390 trillion Quarterly Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 195,607 Quarterly Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pedants defending Science observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ladratia's national animal is the Cavia porcellus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is a culture of pursuing novel living.

Ladratia is ranked 146,350^th in the world and 414^th in Carcassonne for Most Patriotic, with 9.56 flags saluted per person per day.
