The Bodysnatchars of Economichunger is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by sans undrtal with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, infamous sell-swords, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.441 billion hungry consumrs are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CAPITAL city. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Economichungerian economy, worth a remarkable 5,249 trillion McFlurries a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 421,958 McFlurries, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,925,137 per year while the poor average 4,141, a ratio of 947 to 1.

After every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, the diplomatic corps stinks, citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, and boot polish is the favourite lip gloss of entry-level corporate workers. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Economichunger's national animal is the gryhound, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Riding the Wav.

Economichunger is ranked 169,777th in the world and 8,031st in Balder for Most Authoritarian, with 620.96 milliStalins.
