The Federation of Lunder is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Gui with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.727 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 55.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lunderiese economy, worth 296 trillion steles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 171,569 steles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps. 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 12,382nd in the world and 259th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 147.04 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
