The Corporate-Owned Kingdom of Economic Nirvana is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Government Incorporated CEO Lord Phoenix with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 48.558 billion Economic Nirvanans 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, corrupt, 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 Lucre. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Economic Nirvanan economy, worth an astonishing 19,889 trillion stock certificates a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 409,612 stock certificates, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,391,468 per year while the poor average 10,053, a ratio of 337 to 1.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Economic Nirvanan politicians, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for corporate weasel sacrifices, religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, and new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Economic Nirvana's national animal is the corporate weasel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is worship of the Almighty Dollar.

Economic Nirvana is ranked 332,132nd in the world and 4,197th in The East Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -74.09 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
