The Republic of Disadvantage is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning cobra population. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.079 billion Disadvantageans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Disadvantagean economy, worth 232 trillion rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 75,557 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

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

Disadvantage is ranked 243,339^th in the world and 10,332^nd in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 156.3 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
