The Confederacy of Lindows is a mid-sized, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and enforced nudity. The cynical population of 94 million Lindowsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lindowsian economy, worth 2.24 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, Gambling, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 23,813 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, military funding has been stripped back, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lindows's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lindows is ranked 221,667^th in the world and 330^th in Edoca for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
