The Republic of Bundlia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.595 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 Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, notable individuals are granted land and titles, and streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Bundlia's national animal is the sprake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the glove.

Bundlia is ranked 3rd in Gribble and 42,217th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
