The Protectorate of Colonial Murundi is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 7.165 billion Colonial Murundians 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 Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The strong Colonial Murundian economy, worth 389 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Average income is 54,315 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and elections have been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colonial Murundi's national animal is the Stag of Jeltronia, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Colonial Murundi is ranked 228,248^th in the world and 4^th in North Frontier for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 40.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
