The Artwork of Mondriaan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 41.439 billion Mondriaanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Mondriaanian economy, worth a remarkable 7,136 trillion antilliaanse guldens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 172,211 antilliaanse guldens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 622,754 per year while the poor average 33,985, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, the police have taken to prying guns out of the cold fingers of Mondriaanians, national magistrates in Paris are overwhelmed with cases of petty larceny and attempted witchcraft, and morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mondriaan's national animal is the leeuw, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Mondriaan is ranked 157,548th in the world and 156th in Nederland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
