Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,431 legal tenders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Safe drinking water is considered a luxury, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, people are moving into treehouses in record numbers, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Everything Decided at Random's national animal is the Boghog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gambling.
