The State of Lynndell is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 44.373 billion Lynndellians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.7%.

The very strong Lynndellian economy, worth a remarkable 2,252 trillion betales a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 50,766 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
