The Kingdom of Giumdi is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King Josh with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.907 billion Giumdians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Water City. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giumdian economy, worth a remarkable 2,641 trillion Giumdian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 242,189 Giumdian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The comic book series 'King Josh and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, the nation leads Ridgefield in per capita stalking, and tabloids coo over King Josh's expected child. Crime is totally unknown. Giumdi's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Giumdi is ranked 311,200^th in the world and 33^rd in Ridgefield for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
