The Incorporated States of Back Office is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 645 million Back Officeans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The powerhouse Back Officean economy, worth 54.6 trillion Fileses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 84,696 Fileses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 382,529 per year while the poor average 11,535, a ratio of 33.2 to 1.

Politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, more citizens have access to Maxtopian Grass than clean drinking water, chickens roam the streets freely, and baby monitors have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Back Office's national animal is the Clippy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Back Office is ranked 264,019^th in the world and 2^nd in Office Space for Largest Populations, with 645 million capita.
