The District of C8 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 39.206 billion C8ians 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, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The thriving C8ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,676 trillion districtas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 42,750 districtas, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, and community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. C8's national animal is the trout, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

C8 is ranked 318,709^th in the world and 1^st in B C for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
