The Republic of Ounderlan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Zara Ezana with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.492 billion Ounderlanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government prioritizes Administration, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desana. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ounderlanian economy, worth 275 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 110,583 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 525,927 per year while the poor average 13,693, a ratio of 38.4 to 1.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Zara Ezana, the only thing that can pin down a "superhero" is red tape, structures are raised on promises, and the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ounderlan's national animal is the phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Oriental Orthodox Christianity.

Ounderlan is ranked 43,876^th in the world and 445^th in the Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 78.76 on the Human Development Index.
