The Empire of New Dundland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ricky Steamboat with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.401 billion New Dundlandians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stalingrad. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Dundlandian economy, worth 691 trillion Dundland dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 157,102 Dundland dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in New Dundland to be bombproof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Dundland's national animal is the Jackass, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Holy Yale of Bread.

New Dundland is ranked 42,725^th in the world and 858^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,911.77 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
