The Colony of 1050992 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.7 billion 1050992ians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The very strong 1050992ian economy, worth 102 trillion 131514525s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,187 131514525s, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, the government has declared that monochrome cinema is the next big thing, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1050992's national animal is the 1951822112, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

1050992 is ranked 216,603rd in the world and 1,556th in 105 for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 29.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
