The Bad Liar of Savior Complex is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.191 billion Savior Complexians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Savior Complexian economy, worth 909 trillion bad liars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 126,482 bad liars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 474,487 per year while the poor average 23,562, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

Citizens are overwhelmed by beautiful simulacra, renewable energy projects have ground to a halt, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Savior Complex's national animal is the vampire, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Savior Complex is ranked 90,881st in the world and 449th in the Outback for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,576.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
