The ½ Interwebs ░ Cyberocracy of Ghoublins is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by ☺ The Undead Cyborg of Krenko Mob Boss with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.028 billion Ghoublins are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

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. Ghoublins's national animal is the § Superfluous Ottix Monster 𓃗, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ⸙This Statement Is False⸙.
