The Empire of The 6th Choice is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yusaku Fujiki with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.168 billion Choicers 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Den City. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 6th Choicean economy, worth a remarkable 1,132 trillion lire 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. 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 138,627 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", national foreign policy involves significant amounts of hand wringing, the black market offers sweet deals, and children complain that school food is too flavorful. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 6th Choice's national animal is the Linkuriboh, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The 6th Choice is ranked 268,616^th in the world and 7^th in The Choices for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -3.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
