The Most Serene Republic of Gindo Shi is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.991 billion Gindors hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gindo. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gindo Shian economy, worth 216 trillion Fleurs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 108,634 Fleurs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, more citizens have access to Maxtopian Grass than clean drinking water, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and Gindo spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gindo Shi's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gindo Kuld.

Gindo Shi is ranked 7,426^th in the world and 9^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 7,647.31 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
