The Armed Republic of Death totem is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, cynical population of 8.292 billion Death totemians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The thriving Death totemian economy, worth 546 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 65,967 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,502 per year while the poor average 13,455, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime is a problem. Death totem's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Death totem is ranked 101,074^th in the world and 1,489^th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 22.87 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
