The Federal Republic of Great Lindonia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Marcia Ashton with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.054 billion Lindonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoenix. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Lindonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,040 trillion L-Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,224 L-Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, and farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Lindonia's national animal is the Landseer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Great Lindonia is ranked 3,034^th in the world and 4^th in Gay Equality for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 17,119.52 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
