The Banmormaery of Lindsay is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Banmormaer-Queen Lindsay with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, sprawling nuclear power plants, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.118 billion Lindsays 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balcarres. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lindsay economy, worth a remarkable 1,338 trillion pennings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 187,985 pennings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 701,276 per year while the poor average 35,331, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

The government is proudly free of crabs, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and parents are always up to speed on the latest childcare techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lindsay's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is presbyterian Christianity.

Lindsay is ranked 90,642^nd in the world and 1^st in Yadkin for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,583.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
