The Federation of Kundam is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Conservatives plus Libertarians with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.41 billion Kundamians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newtown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Kundamian economy, worth 702 trillion Krons a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 159,394 Krons, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of high velocity delivery drones, hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region, and the government is funneling billions into Cape Kundam following the shuttle crash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kundam's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kundam is ranked 157,761^st in the world and 7,990^th in The North Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.25 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
