The Federation of Windurst is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Star Sybil with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.564 billion Windurstians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windurst City. The average income tax rate is 71.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Windurstian economy, worth 507 trillion Gils a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,292 Gils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, major cities run on potato batteries, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime is totally unknown. Windurst's national animal is the Mandragora, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Windurst is ranked 27,416^th in the world and 510^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
