The Fabulously Decolonized Union of Mundiferrum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eirene I of Idlewild with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 24.871 billion Mundiferrorum are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gladialbus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Mundiferri economy, worth a remarkable 4,750 trillion P-Funds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 190,998 P-Funds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All you have to do is pray to get into Mundiferrum, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mundiferrum's national animal is the Cat in a Pumpkin Costume, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Isolandian Orthodoxy.

Mundiferrum is ranked 2,174^th in the world and 42^nd in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 20,648.55 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
