The Republic of Rubberbandland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rubber Band with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, vat-grown people, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.032 billion Rubberbandlandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Great Rubberband Factory. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Rubberbandlandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,059 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 238,335 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, parking's carefree without parking car fees, biology and religious education classes have recently been merged, and the arms industry is strictly regulated. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rubberbandland's national animal is the Flying Hippo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Elastic.

Rubberbandland is ranked 292,963rd in the world and 3rd in Your Mother for Nicest Citizens, with 0.12 average smiles per day.
