The Medicine Cabinet of THX1138 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by bowloftoast with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 24.817 billion THX1138sters enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucas. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient THX1138ian economy, worth a remarkable 8,647 trillion Clangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 348,465 Clangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, and flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug. Crime is totally unknown. THX1138's national animal is the Cuttlefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is A Healthy Lack Thereof.

THX1138 is ranked 3,446^th in the world and 1^st in Schopenhauer for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 13,342.07 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
