The Union of Ondec is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Jaime Vujicic with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.664 billion Ondecians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sitka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The thriving Ondecian economy, worth 333 trillion Cyndis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 71,431 Cyndis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,809 per year while the poor average 15,592, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Kissing cousins produce the heartiest babies, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', many are questioning President Jaime Vujicic wearing an Eckie-Ecola baseball cap during a keynote speech, and people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ondec's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ondec is ranked 110,560^th in the world and 13^th in The Great Storm for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 89.72 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
