The Republic of Windond is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jon Arbuckle with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.523 billion Windondians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arndurn. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Windondian economy, worth 134 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,087 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Vitriolic divorce proceedings have become prime-time television, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, and the blind lead the blind in social welfare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Windond's national animal is the Garfield, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Windond is ranked 58,266th in the world and 139th in Forest for Nudest, with 201.5 cheeks per square mile.
