The Interstellar Realm of Modern Gondor is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Elessar with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.239 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minas Anor. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, nudity is frowned upon, speaking out against the government is punishable by flogging, and the police have been swamped with requests to stay up past bedtime. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Modern Gondor's national animal is the Oliphaunt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Ilúvatarism, and its currency is the Dollar.

Modern Gondor is ranked 7th in The Genesis Corporation and 3,366th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 129 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
