The United and Free States of Unterlander is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Senator with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.817 billion Unterlanderians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stadt von Jesus Christus. The average income tax rate is 36.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Unterlanderian economy, worth 278 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,848 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, and ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unterlander's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Unterlander is ranked 41,352^nd in the world and 1,071^st in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,685.62 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
