The Kingdom of Giumdi is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Josh with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.932 billion Giumdians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Water City. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giumdian economy, worth a remarkable 2,652 trillion Giumdian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 242,632 Giumdian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across Giumdi are blocked up with orders for new public loos, King Josh is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, the new coalition government is so large nobody knows where it begins, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. Crime is totally unknown. Giumdi's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Giumdi is ranked 60,560^th in the world and 23^rd in Ridgefield for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,906.76 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
