The Most Serene Republic of Lindy is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.92 billion Lindyians 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 government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Welfare, Education, and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.

The strong Lindyian economy, worth 101 trillion Lind-chips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 52,978 Lind-chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, meat-eating is frowned upon, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lindy's national animal is the Slugcat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lindy is ranked 197,896^th in the world and 10,373^rd in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 412.75 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
