The Republic of Great Lindonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Marcia Ashton with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.948 billion Lindonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cosmopolis. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lindonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,966 trillion L-Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,552 L-Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, and farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Lindonia's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Great Lindonia is ranked 289,911^th in the world and 25^th in Gay Equality for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.35 kickbacks per hour.
