The 27 of --------------------------- is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Big Brother with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.923 billion ---------------------------ians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kringalia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.7%.

The frighteningly efficient ---------------------------ian economy, worth a remarkable 8,246 trillion 27s a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 306,293 27s, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,977,897 per year while the poor average 19,098, a ratio of 103 to 1.

The --------------------------- Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', patriotic citizens simply tend to applaud rather than sing the nation's praises, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ---------------------------'s national animal is the 27, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is 27.

--------------------------- is ranked 5,728^th in the world and 336^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
