The XXX of XXX is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by XXX with a fair hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 31.18 billion XXXES are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of XXX. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.2%.

The frighteningly efficient XXXian economy, worth a remarkable 5,768 trillion xxxes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 184,991 xxxes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 621,905 per year while the poor average 40,802, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

The government thinks XXXES can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together, police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit, machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter, and the XXXian Tourism Bureau has described the abolition of coastal defences as a "kick to the groyne". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. XXX's national animal is the xxx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is XXX.

XXX is ranked 18,021st in the world and 26th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 326.08 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
