The Wilco of Country Disappeared is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.752 billion Country Disappearedians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Country Disappearedian economy, worth 763 trillion wilcoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,026 wilcoes, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, and search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Country Disappeared's national animal is the album, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Country Disappeared is ranked 9,238th in the world and 12th in Stereo Hearts for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 87,369.81 Standard Monetary Units.
