The Gold Masterpiece Movie of The Void- is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Dwayne Johnson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.378 billion Earthlings are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The International Space Station. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The powerhouse Void-ian economy, worth 110 trillion Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 80,359 Gold Bars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 384,002 per year while the poor average 9,861, a ratio of 38.9 to 1.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, stale 'yo mamma' insults have been replaced by 'your maternal DNA' insults, torture is illegal, and new treatments are rejected if they cannot be explained using only one-syllable words. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Void-'s national animal is the Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Void- is ranked 291,273rd in the world and 47th in The Cosmic Archive Filmography for Most Developed, scoring 47.32 on the Human Development Index.
