The United Kingdom of Lyndor is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dolphin population. The compassionate, democratic population of 284 million Lyndorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Lyndorian economy, worth 14.0 trillion Lyndorian Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,464 Lyndorian Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, glamping Lyndorians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound, and the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lyndor's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lyndor is ranked 96,880^th in the world and 800^th in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 99.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
