The Republic of 401k is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.662 billion 401kians 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, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The strong 401kian economy, worth 318 trillion engines a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Average income is 47,835 engines, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 308,305 per year while the poor average 2,998, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 401k's national animal is the raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

401k is ranked 177,545^th in the world and 1^st in Celestial Union of Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
