The Bakewell Tart of Mundiferrum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eirene I of Idlewild with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 30.155 billion Mundiferrorum 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.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gladialbus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Mundiferri economy, worth a remarkable 5,796 trillion P-Funds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 192,231 P-Funds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All you have to do is pray to get into Mundiferrum, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mundiferrum's national animal is the Cat in a Pumpkin Costume, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Isolandian Orthodoxy.

Mundiferrum is ranked 1,692^nd in the world and 34^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 146.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
