The Principality of Condal is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.442 billion Condalians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Condalian economy, worth 53.8 trillion rubles 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 37,313 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, and the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Condal's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Condal is ranked 71,312^th in the world and 2^nd in Project for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,418.98 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
