The Federation of Windurst is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Star Sybil with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.052 billion Windurstians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windurst City. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Windurstian economy, worth 612 trillion Gils a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,182 Gils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, life is short but human kindness is endless, and the government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Windurst's national animal is the Mandragora, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Windurst is ranked 15,189^th in the world and 529^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,186.24 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
