The Sleeping puppet of Not a Sleeper is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Yawn with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.922 billion Sleepers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sleeping City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Asleep economy, worth a remarkable 5,946 trillion Beds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 351,430 Beds, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Refugee camp conversions to Nighttime are increasingly common, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, structures are raised on promises, and basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Not a Sleeper's national animal is the Sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Nighttime.

Not a Sleeper is ranked 305^th in the world and 1^st in Nerdlandia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 137,296.97 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
