The United Socialist States of Nuclear Drum is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television. The hard-working population of 6.861 billion Nuclear Drumians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong Nuclear Drumian economy, worth 442 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 64,524 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,524 per year while the poor average 17,701, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, discarded pennies litter the streets, and Nuclear Drum has designated Nuclear Drum City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nuclear Drum's national animal is the leopard.

Nuclear Drum is ranked 275,783^rd in the world and 3,754^th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.62 flags saluted per person per day.
