The Dominion of Big Stick is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.046 billion Big Stickians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.4%.

The very strong Big Stickian economy, worth 178 trillion aurums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 58,762 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,721 per year while the poor average 16,274, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Harry Potter books are banned, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and Big Stickians have replaced bears in a popular idiom. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Big Stick's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Big Stick is ranked 195,107^th in the world and 2^nd in Coalition of Based Allies for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
