The Federation of Lunder is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Gui with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.699 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xeneto. The average income tax rate is 55.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lunderiese economy, worth 289 trillion steles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 170,483 steles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The economy is undergoing a traumatic transition to capitalism, soldiers have swapped their uniforms for prisonwear, on-duty Air Lunder flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, and preservative-laden Lunderiese cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium. 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 112,324^th in the world and 466^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,354.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
