The Federation of Lunder is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Gui with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.715 billion Lunderiese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xeneto. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lunderiese economy, worth 294 trillion steles 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 impressive 171,909 steles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The well-to-do in Europe are never on time for important appointments, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lunder's national animal is the Night Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Lunder is ranked 29,802^nd in the world and 424^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 109.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
