The Republic of Kundunese Defense Force is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 351 million Kundunese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 7.4%.

The strong Kundunese economy, worth 22.5 trillion Kundunese francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,097 Kundunese francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Kundunese Defense Force's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kundunese Defense Force is ranked 100,737^th in the world and 1^st in Zulu Strip One for Most Patriotic, with 14.99 flags saluted per person per day.
