The Republic of Ounderlan is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Zara Ezana with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, rampant corporate plagiarism, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.575 billion Ounderlanians 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 government prioritizes Administration, with Law & Order, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desana. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ounderlanian economy, worth 294 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 114,507 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 445,381 per year while the poor average 20,129, a ratio of 22.1 to 1.

It's hunting season on loan sharks, Ounderlanian junkies argue that poppy stalks are ornamental flowers, frequent broken zippers have resulted in safety pins making a fashion comeback, and children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ounderlan's national animal is the phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Oriental Orthodox Christianity.

Ounderlan is ranked 329,002^nd in the world and 3,183^rd in the Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -16.12 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
