The Federation of Gundelavia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Radenko Gandalf with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.132 billion Gundelavians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tapalkex. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gundelavian economy, worth 324 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 152,379 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, gift baskets often contain working nukes, and factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gundelavia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Singularismo.

Gundelavia is ranked 80,971^st in the world and 75^th in Wintreath for Most Patriotic, with 20.25 flags saluted per person per day.
