The Great and Holy Nation of Luthercordia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Martin with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 41.667 billion Lutherans 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 minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wartburg Castle. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Lutheran economy, worth an astonishing 11,330 trillion Cords a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 271,939 Cords, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 983,392 per year while the poor average 53,666, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

Train stations can be 'armful places, air purifiers fight smoke machines on Lutheran stage setups, catcalling has been replaced by slut-shaming, and 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Luthercordia's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Lutheran faith.

Luthercordia is ranked 7,083^rd in the world and 2^nd in Concordia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
