The In the Ink machine of Discarded Masterpiece is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.783 billion Discarded Masterpieceans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Discarded Masterpiecean economy, worth 400 trillion rupees 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. 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 69,301 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Discarded Masterpiece's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Discarded Masterpiece is ranked 83,894^th in the world and 75^th in Crimson Spire for Most Patriotic, with 17.02 flags saluted per person per day.
