The Boomerang Effect of Reverse Damage is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by MrKangaroo with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 35.284 billion Reverse Damageans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ReverseCity. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Reverse Damagean economy, worth a remarkable 5,535 trillion boomerangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,891 boomerangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, a lot of number one hits are straight cover versions, nothing gets the party jumping like MrKangaroo specifying how high, and deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reverse Damage's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Reverse Damage is ranked 956th in the world and 24th in Nederland for Most Stationary, with 4,793.66359872 days.
