The Radical Reality of Binarity is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Kannu Harpo with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.085 billion Binarinians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harpo Marx Stadt. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Binarityian economy, worth 667 trillion both sideses of coin a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,117 both sideses of coin, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who refuse to vote are guillotined, people with dyslexia are told to tough through it, weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, and Binarinians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Binarity's national animal is the Night Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Sci-Fi.

Binarity is ranked 230,763^rd in the world and 36^th in Philosophers for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 114.9 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
