The State of Comtroller is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 38.782 billion Comtrollerians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The very strong Comtrollerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,424 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 36,726 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 249,693 per year while the poor average 1,973, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, Comtroller has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Comtroller in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Comtroller's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Comtroller is ranked 83,589^th in the world and 81^st in United States of America for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
