The Sovereign Secular State of KUNDANNUR is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by thorkill with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.441 billion ers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ASCENT. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient KUNDANNURian economy, worth 667 trillion heroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,941 heroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, every week is blindness awareness week, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KUNDANNUR's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is buddhism.

KUNDANNUR is ranked 288,522^nd in the world and 116^th in India for Most Primitive, scoring -553.43 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
