The Wasteland of Nuclear Annihilation is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Adam Split with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 6.688 billion Annihilators live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the crater that used to be a city. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Irradiated economy, worth a remarkable 1,910 trillion rads a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 285,603 rads, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,257,030 per year while the poor average 40,732, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, politicians have tenure, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, and several inches are being added to first class seating. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nuclear Annihilation's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Apocalypse.

Nuclear Annihilation is ranked 320,338^th in the world and 57^th in Quarantine Zone for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -40.5 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
