The Kingdom of Gwyndelm is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 15.401 billion Gwyndelmians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Gwyndelmian economy, worth a remarkable 3,372 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 219,010 Crowns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 882,639 per year while the poor average 36,320, a ratio of 24.3 to 1.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, there's a hole in the heart of every Gwyndelmian city, heavily stoned police officers are unsure whether the recent directive to 'clean up the streets' means arresting drug dealers or hosing down the sidewalk, and standard-issue infantry rifles now have carnations instead of bayonets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gwyndelm's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gwyndelm is ranked 156,173rd in the world and 61st in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 330.72 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
