The Ozone friendly Lemmings of Just Dig is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the player with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.971 billion Lemmings 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.
