The Empire of New Dundland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ricky Steamboat with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate population of 4.672 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 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Dundlandian economy, worth 735 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 157,486 Dundland dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties. 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 39,764^th in the world and 588^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 38.5 flags saluted per person per day.
