The Rogue Nation of Useless Utilities is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Ethelbert the unwary with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.799 billion Useless Utilitiesians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Useless Utilities City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Useless Utilitiesian economy, worth a remarkable 4,316 trillion Qwarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 174,052 Qwarks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,607,010 per year while the poor average 1,864, a ratio of 862 to 1.

Motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, daisy chain gangs plant flowers and pick up litter, the Pig is reportedly extinct, and the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Useless Utilities's national animal is the Pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Hummm.

Useless Utilities is ranked 54,090^th in the world and 14^th in Absolution for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
