The Incorporated States of Konsum is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 291 million Konsumians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blüceberg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The thriving Konsumian economy, worth 22.0 trillion Aints a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 75,713 Aints, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 407,580 per year while the poor average 7,317, a ratio of 55.7 to 1.

Calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, the minority party is vilified for everything from fires to earthquakes, and the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Konsum's national animal is the Konsum Mountain Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Konsum is ranked 305,245^th in the world and 192^nd in Eladria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
