The Republic of Components is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.219 billion Componentsians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The thriving Componentsian economy, worth 210 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 65,338 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,277 per year while the poor average 13,327, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Components's national animal is the kiwi.

Components is ranked 243,278^th in the world and 10,468^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 13,327.75 Standard Monetary Units.
