The Kingdom of Giumdi is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by King Josh with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.003 billion Giumdians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Water City. The average income tax rate is 18.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giumdian economy, worth a remarkable 2,433 trillion Giumdian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 221,181 Giumdian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, auditors are gutting every governmental department, and declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing King Josh to progressive thinkers. Crime is totally unknown. Giumdi's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Giumdi is ranked 325,481^st in the world and 30^th in Ridgefield for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 19.22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
