The Federation of Lunder is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Gui with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 2.978 billion Lunderiese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xeneto. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lunderiese economy, worth 562 trillion steles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 188,903 steles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away, sports club owners are having a moneyball, abattoirs are running at full capacity in response to skyrocketing demand, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lunder's national animal is the Night Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.
Lunder is ranked 28,445th in the world and 171st in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,544.97 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
