The United States of Billingtor is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 919 million Billingtorians 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 relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sannhet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The thriving Billingtorian economy, worth 79.2 trillion coins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Average income is 86,149 coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 383,372 per year while the poor average 12,048, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

All government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Sannhet, owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, Big Belly is watching you, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Billingtor's national animal is the Crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Billingtor is ranked 80,338th in the world and 127th in Fifth Empire for Highest Average Incomes, with 86,149.03 Standard Monetary Units.
