The United Establishments of Land of No Mans is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Establishment Forum with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.696 billion Masians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Profiticana. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Masian economy, worth 897 trillion globas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 191,157 globas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,117,872 per year while the poor average 15,343, a ratio of 72.9 to 1.

Schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, employees are told they can avoid traffic jams by starting work at 4 AM, and in pet stores nationwide wasps are growing in popularity. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Land of No Mans's national animal is the wasp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Land of No Mans is ranked 288,125th in the world and 159th in Lands End for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3.08 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
