The Grand Homeland of Bundin Silverarrow is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Caretaker with an even hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 21.304 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Social Welfare, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bundin Hill. The average income tax rate is 57%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Retail.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the government is avowedly atheist, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and voting is voluntary. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Bundin Silverarrow's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is presbyterian, and its currency is the dollar.

Bundin Silverarrow is ranked 10th in Ionia and 13,811th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 4 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
