The Colony of 1050237 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.997 billion 1050237ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.2%.

The frighteningly efficient 1050237ian economy, worth 538 trillion 131514525s 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 89,818 131514525s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 285,231 per year while the poor average 21,548, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Government officials frown on anything more technologically advanced than an abacus, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1050237's national animal is the 1951822112, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

1050237 is ranked 268,183rd in the world and 1,738th in 105 for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 39.33 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
