The Republic of Winderveld is a massive, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.369 billion Winderveldians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.1%.

The strong Winderveldian economy, worth 135 trillion gold coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,841 gold coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 190,611 per year while the poor average 12,584, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, the colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Winderveld's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
