The Sad Nation of I Hate Physics is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Not-Albert Einstein with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.531 billion I Hate Physicsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 36.5%.

The thriving I Hate Physicsian economy, worth 254 trillion Einsteins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,939 Einsteins, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Reinventing the wheel is a favourite pastime of I Hate Physicsian weapons designers, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I Hate Physics's national animal is the physics problem, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is science.

I Hate Physics is ranked 84,235^th in the world and 4,045^th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 45,681.89 Standard Monetary Units.
